i was out there too that day swinging for the fences fishing big baits deep for lakers in the duranautic. think we might have cruised past each other a couple times. no luck for me. lot of really long follows, fish just swimming next to the bait for minutes, before taking off.

you can see down way farther than 12'. i didn't run them on this trip bc i wasn't trolling, but last time out i had no problem seeing my divers which were about 30' down and 50' behind the boat! the water is insanely clear... no tributaries, so nothing suspended in the water except when they pump it in.

the water is still down 10+ feet from full pool. docks are still out of the water and you have to back the trailers off the concrete and onto the lake bed to launch. thick vegetation along the exposed shoreline now.
