Ifn I was fishin Chotard tomorrom, I would put in at Chotard and go to the right side of Chotard and slow troll toward Laney's. Go all the way to Laney's and back. If you don't do any good, then go thru the shut and up to the north end. Look for several camps on the right. Real clean looking area. Fish either side that the wind will let you. The fish should be 10-14' deep in 16-20' of water. According to the wind direction and the lay of the lake, the west end of Chotard will be fishable.
