[quote Fish_Utah_Bob]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[/quote]
Thanks for the info!
I meant to say scouting not fishing sorry about that.
Yeah im pretty famialr with the gorge as that's aboput the only lake I fish anymore (we leave our bayliner at the dry storage owns by the Chevron/Sinclair)
Just haven't been able to get up there yet this year due to the weather. just trying to get an idea as to where to fish for the derby, we were thinking Anvil area for kokes and to see if we can get any lakers marked to
I have a KVD HB 999HD/DI that has the chart plotter but use a Handheld GPS instead to keep from cluttering the screen.
Ive yet to get a big Mack, but hoping this year ill be able to finally get one to hit my trolling gear.
