The summer is heating up and the fish are starting to spread out.  While jigging has been working most of the season so far, it is starting to be more hit and miss.  The fish seem to be more spread out.  Trolling has been very productive using minnows, leeches and crawler harnesses.  Fish have also been hitting on plugs and downriggers are being used more prevalently. 

There are plenty of fish being caught on the south end of the lake, but the bite has definitely more consistent to the north near Garden Island.  The reefs have also been giving up some big fish.

The sweltering heat seems to have left us for the time being.  It should be a great week.  Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s should make for comfortable fishing.
