I quit running flea flicker cuz I wasn't a fan. I still have a spool of 30 lb somewhere. I get away with 30 lb big game. Check your lines every half hour or so and you will be fine.
I find the south end better back when I fished it. Small spoons off down riggers (Michigan stinger scorpions) caught the majority of our fish but we did well off lead as well out on an inline planer board. The fish in there are very spooky. 10lb mono attached to 20' or 30' of 6 to 8 floro. In the spring stick baits off flat lines have produced for me as well. We caught our biggest rainbow fishing out of the south end on the west side in 20' of water in may.
Try Canadice as well over summer working 70' to 90' on bottom for lakers.
