Summer is a great time to use swim baits casting on the shallow rock piles on the lake. I like a 1/4 oz jig with a Ripple Shad, and locate the rock and put your trolling motor down and start casting into them. I use Fireline with about 3-5’ of 8 lb mono and tie the mono directly to the fireline. Start on the wind blown side first and work your way around the rocks casting up into them. Good luck

Mid - June is a great time to pull spinners along the wind blown shorelines, troll at .75 - 1.25 mph. get out away from the boat start with a 1/8 oz sinker. use your electronics to locate the fish, they are normally in 5' - 15' of water. Use a crawler or cut the back hook off and use a leach or minnow. The fish are normally feeding on minnows or bugs. when you feel the fish hit wait a second or two and set the hook, it will give them a chance to suck the bait into there mouth. I like to use a braid as my mainline but mono works just as good. Good Luck!
