    Main lake wizard.

    Thermocline is there but it's deep. About 24-28foot is where I'm seeing it

    Hang in there J.D. The I-pilot I-link makes it so much easier to pull cranks. Thermocline has been showing itself more each day. Main lake has been the best for us.

    ken, I saw some nice whites in one of your pictures, are you finding them with any regularity, and which part of the lake has been best ?

    Hey Wayne.. Seen your vehicle in the parking lot the other day. We have been picking up about 1-2 white bass a trip. That day in the pic. we found a spot that had some nice ones and we did well but just one day that has been it. There was a evening bite at the point at 9st last week but they have disappeared.

    When you guys are trolling cranks, do you use your big motors or do you have use the trolling motor to slow them down? With my Ficht I can only get down to about 3 mph.
    Thanks!

    A drift sock will slow you down. If its real windy I use the big motor with 2 18in. drift socks, one on each side.
