Fished it 3days last week in very high winds out of a canoe. Bombed the shorelines without a follow or hit from a ski. Caught a ton of small northerns and a few largemouths. My advice would be to fish deeper water for suspended fish and around the steep drops offs of the 3 humps that top out at 3 ft. Lake is now just loaded with small northerns. Northerns under 40 must now be immediately released which I think has hurt the musky fisherie badly. Good Luck!
