The past two weeks has probaly been the best fishing we have seen down here on our end of the lake for as long as I can remember.
With all the South winds so far this Summer we have cold water in close and the fish are stacked up like cord wood...
Here is what has worked for us the past two weeks.

We fished from 60 to 70 of water never much past the state line



Riggers:
40down- 13” yellow tail meat rig combo has been hot early.

50 to 65 down- was our spoon set up. Moonshine'Flounder Pounder" early was hot... Later SledgeHammer..Our Spoon rod has been on fire.
42-48 down: Chrome dodger with a plain Blue Meathead with a whole (green size) Herring Early later GN/ Coyote with a matching meatrig.
Divers:
Wire diver: 2 setting early 88 later 111 back Blue Bubble SD w/Big Weenie “No see em” fly/Black Mamba w/ matchingMeat rig later
Braided Diver: 2 setting early 99 later 119 back MT. SD/Pickled sunshine fly Later Mountain Dew Flasher w/matching meatrig
Never ran more then 5 rods..No need to even put the lead out..
Winds changed out of the North today and are expected that way the rest of the week..
My guess by next weekend we will be running the normal 20 miles to get to fish..Sure was fun while it lasted
