Hey Guys - doing a quick trip to bear lake. we will have a boat, but no down rigger set ups. I have fished the east side a few spots over summers and am okay figuring that side out - but have never fished any of the west sides. I have heard marina / rock piles etc, but dont really know what I'm looking for and what to expect during this later spring time.
I know summer fish go deeper is all - but not sure when that transition happens - we are looking to catch anything but the carps.
I do have a basic fish finder so we should at least know if we have something moving below us and how deep.
Anyone willing to share some starting points? Maybe types of baits to try. not sure if standard trolling with some diving rapalas works at all right now? or focus on just jigging down?
Not sure what to expect right now with temps around 45 compared to mid july while fishing evenings hiding during family reunions.
Thanks.
