As my post indicated, we started in Linwood bay and went over to swim beach trolling. Linwood bay is the bay just to the right of the Lucerne marina as you are leaving the marina. Swim beach is around the corner to the left just into the Wyoming side.
My suggestions are to look for depths between 60-85 feet and troll in those troughs or grooves. Hopefully you have a fish finder with weigh point marking capability. As I troll over lake trout laying on the bottom, I mark them on my sonar. This generates a type of pick line that I use to circle back and troll over them again. When trolling slows down, I go back to the marked points and anchor above the lazy lake trout and jig right in their faces...bounce a big white tube jig with about a 1 oz. jig head weight right on the bottom and raise and hold about 6 inches above the bottom and drop it and raise it again about every 10 seconds. This really irritates the lakers and gets them biting. My MinnKota keeps us anchored via GPS, but a conventional anchor will do the same job.
Good luck....Bob
