Robert, I believe you are correct. I have landed my share of Brownies on the big lake. And I must admit, I miss the action. I too, have had plenty of the lakers here on Kueka, I thought I was missing something but any other species seems hard to come by. Out of all the fish last year trolling, the most rewarding was a 4.5 lb small mouth when I was washing a few spoons!
I will take your suggestion and give the sticks a run for the Browinies, and early is no problem. I like to leave the dock under dark when I can, just for that reason. I have heard the South end of the lake maybe be the best try?
Dave
