I fished Newman last friday and we managed one LMB on a rapala jerk type bait. We were sitting over 5 or 6 feet of water and the fish was caught casting out to deeper water. We estimated 8 or 9 feet deep. I also went out for a couple of hours this Thursday. The pads are comming up and with temps perdicted in the mid to high 50's, along with some sunshine, over the next 10 days, I would guess the pads will be up pretty well by the end of March. If the temps continue to go up, we should start seeing some pretty good fishing by mid April. I have fished Newman for many years now, but when you say, "Submerged Island" I am unaware of where you are talking about. I know of some rockpiles out there, but the submerged island has me stumped. Care to share it's location? Happy Fishing

Same place Scotti is referring to. The northern most area of the lake, near Muzzy bay? A large flat area that's pretty shallow, about 5-8' deep. With the temperature differential I would imagine this would make a nice spawning area.
