Shad
Soon after the largemouth are through spawning on the lake, the Shad will begin to spawn. Target riprap and rock banks with overhanging trees. A white spinnerbait is a perfect bait when this is happening. Fish the first few hours after daylight for the best success.

Lake trout can often be found in 20-40ft of water during the winter, following the schools of baitfish. Jigging a 1/2oz chrome spoon through the baitfish can often produce great results.
