Nice day on the Lake!

The wife and I ran my spoon harnesses on our side of the boat and 2 buddies ran regular harnesses on his side. Every lead from 25 back with a 1 oz to 3oz. 5 cranks up off bottom got fish. The harness side, 2oz inlines 40, 50 back and bouncer got fish.
Some colors seemed best, purple chartreuse, rainbow trout/silver back, and one spoon that is hard to find , copper/red/blk that took a lot of fish but they bit it so hard I ended up breaking the hook as it was thru his jaw bone twice. I didn't bring my stuff to remake the spoon harness. Funny thing, a color that would work at one setting would not work at other setting.
Anyway, the fish would take the board back and we even force fed em, the board would be behind the boat they would still just keep tapping and not commit. Bring the bait in and the crawler would be chewed to bits. With the spoon harnesses, I had a lot that would take the board back and even under. Fight the fish, and they would let go. Not a mark in the crawler. I believe they are taking the complete spoon harness without biting the crawler, so no hooky in the mouthy. The regular crawlers had a lot of silvers, not so many on the spoon harness. A lot of the other boats out there were losing fish also, not just us. It would be slow for 15-20 minutes, then a double or triple then slow again, over and over. Most of the time you were also battling boat traffic.
