I spent a good amount of time when I attended KC (early 2000's) trolling shallow on the East arm from Penn Yan to the college. We would catch nice browns, salmon, lakers, big pickerel, and hefty smallies running tx6 planers and stickbaits. Once caught a respectable salmon from shore on pt Nemo at the college as well. The fish are around. Never ran into many ppl doing the same. Focus on small points and creeks coming into the lake.
