[quote Muleskinner222]Thanks, we have a small aluminum boat with a 20HP Mercury. Are the weed beds visible? I guess I need to get reading how to catch Splake.[/quote]
Yes. The weeds are visible. They grow out to about 25' deep. If you want splake, anchor outside the weeds and fish just like you would fish for lake trout -- jigs tipped with cut bait.
Try moving out to about 60 - 90' deep and do the same thing. Maybe you'll get lucky and catch a large lake trout.
Alternatively, go out and troll -- get your lure to about 40' deep. Use a 8" rapala.
Good luck.
