The last trip we made, we actually caught them at 4 -6 feet deep over 40 feet of water with a water surface temperature of 42*. My buddy, who is from Carrollton came in there late that evening with his family and made the third boat of us fishing where we were catching them. Once we told him how we were catching them and he tried it, all you could hear when he would get a fish on was "This ain't right" echoing all over the lake.
Do some experimenting in this area and I believe you'll catch some. Who knows what the rest of the lake would be like doing this. Would love to hear a report if you give it a try! Good Luck!
