Hey good luck out there Vulture im not gonna be able to make it up there on those days but im sure you'll get the lake uncrowded. That set up you were talking about on a three way swivel and a ball weight is something ive been thinking about for awhile but never thought to try it. I was thinking of just carolina rigging a floating jerk bait or like you said a shallow running crank bait. Im gonna give that a try next time. Let me know how you did, and if possible let me know if you are graphing alot of fish closer to shore and if so where, cuz im a poor shore fisherman and you never know the big females might be moving up. Good fishing to you.
