Summer time heat has settled in and afternoon winds are a given. All fish are stuffed with food, such as shrimp, crawdads, and kokanee salmon. Mackinaw are on the bottom engorged with food from midnight hunting in the full moon. We have been getting them in 110 to 180 feet one day and then the next 280 to 350 feet. Dodgers and minnows, flashers and minnows, flat fish, stick baits, and some bottom bouncing are all essential to getting Lake Trout 1 to 15 lbs. One day it's easy fishing and the next day not so easy. Cal Neva Point, Sugar Pine Point, South Shore Shelf are good fishing locations.
