Was up there for a week. Great weather for camping, breezy and mid 70s during the day and Mid 50s at night. Stiff breeze was not good for boating and fishing. Drift was really fast and anchoring in certain spots was bouncy.

I did however manage to fish a few late afternoons. Caught several smallmouth up to 3 pounds or so and 4 large mouth with one around the 4.5 mark.

Most fish caught on 5 inch Senkos whacky rigged with drop shot. Others caught on worms Lindy rigged. Most were caught drifting and tossing the Senkos and worms in 25 to 40 feet of water. Had to cast out ahead of the drift so they'd would sink down to the bottom before the boat drift would catch up to them and drag them off the bottom and too fast.

First time fishing Senkos for me. A fun way to fish....They probably are way more effective when the drift is slower or when anchored up with less wind, especially when you are fishing deep water.
