I've fished that area many many times over my many years and its a given there is a lot of idiots that hang out there that play with guns. A couple years back we had to high tail it to shore in our float tubes to avoid being hit by stray bullets. I hope the 911 call proved successful!
Sorry to hear you didnt hit a few channels drifting/trolling. Thats usually a great way to tap into them. Were you "long lining" back say 40'-50' under a bobber? I commonly use a 1/8-1/4 once jig (depending on the drift speed) with a dark colored grub under a bobber and set it up so the jig skips along just off the bottom, and I sweeten the deal with a strip of some type of cut bait when I drift/troll for kitties.. Commonly works great..
Good to hear the whities were willing to stretch your strings tho'..
