GH,

Here are two spots I have shared before... Not too many fish these spots because they just don't know the secrets of the deep.

(1) Quartermaster Harbor and,
(2) Slag Pile boat ramp

Chart

At QM follow the 20 fathom contour from Neill Pt over around to Piner Pt scratching the bottom. Work deeper in 10 foot increments. What's great about this spot? (1) Normally you'll have it to yourself. (2) You can fish either side of the tide. Herring school up and spawn in this area right now.

The old boat ramp was located at the East end of the Slag Pile (rip rap). Notice the close contour lines from the meaure mile out and around towards the wharfs (west). From some reason, BM hang out here. I have two theories on this. (1) Quick deep water escape and (2) the bait lulls there- ALWAYS! On a heavy tide swing, the bait pushes up on to the flat or out in the real deep stuff. Finally, it is here at this spot where the tide splits... West of the rip rap the tide always flows towards the boat house and vice versa east of the rip rap.

Rule 1... Fish the bottom 10' of the water. If you ain't bumping bottom every so often, you ain't fishing deep enough!

My favorite lure this time of year... A 5" spoon on 48" of leader behind a glo green Hot Spot
A 5" spoon? I get mine in Canada... However, for you "yote fans, the 'Yote now comes in a 5" model.

Downriggin'
