Marked tons of fish near the bottom off the north bank from Across from Indian up through Roena in 30-to 50 feet of water. They would regularly come up off the bottom to 25' and go back down...so I put some baits at 25. Got tired of watching the fish come up to same level as my bait and returning to the bottom after about twenty minutes so went back over to the channel side. Spent as much time looking around different places on the lake as I did fishing and didn't see any large schools. Fish I saw were scattered and probably moving around. They were definately moving up and down a lot.

Hope they school up soon and able to find them.
They were very picky on bait. Boats sitting right beside us were not getting a thing while our rods were going down with gizzards. Those smaller packs can be like that sometimes. Follow fishincreek's advise. If you don't have a spoon tied on, use a bait rod. Drop it down to the bottom and crank it back up through them. Sometimes, they might not even hit that bait but it can get the pack turned on and they may hit your other baits. I say this, but I tried a spoon and a bait my first day with shiners and only got two smaller fish so I quit and down rigged for some better fish. But the next day may have been different. On my last day I saw a boat of kids using nothing but spoons and they cleaned two fish.
