Slow in late June and early July fishing from the boat. We tried everything from early morning and into the evening. Patterns tried: General trolling everything from Alabama rigs with various types of soft baits, Spinners, every lure in our boxes and picked up nothing. Casted the North shore and West shores early morning with no hits. Casting onto the banks I tried, small/large single and double blade spinners, fishing slow with 4” and 6” worms (texas rig), shallow and deep running crank baits. Last (2) trips we boated two fish 30” pike and 17” small mouth both from the east shore line against the rocks.
