Troll cranks around the bass islands (middle and north) and between kelleys and the islands, also north of kelleys

yes, trolling stick baits and harnesses, if you want a hog you have to fish the deeper waters, the big girls are heading home. We got a 31.5 last weekend, north of niagra towards the middle passage between north and middle bass, caught other nice fish too. The next couple weeks will be your best chance at a true trophy

If you want a legit shot at a trophy, then trolling is your best option.

Stick baits, although there has been some success with spoons recently. Reef Runners, ripsticks, and deep divers are the popular ones.

Many places where big ones are caught this time of year:

*B to D Can
*North of Niagra
*Island Middle Passage Area
*Island South Passage Area
*North of North Bass - near Canadian Line
*North of Kelly's
*West side of Kelly's
*Kelly's to North Bass

These are the most popular area's where we have caught big fish. Slow troll still.

If anyone wants to check out www.midwestangling.com on the Ohio page i posted a ton of pics from my 3 day weekend up at the big lake. We only trolled, but we DID find some big girls to play with and a bonus 20 inch smallie

ps ~ if you don't want to check it out we went slow (1.5), trolled RR's back 50-60, and our best colors were the "nakeds"
