Late report. Fished from kayak. Had to use bobber method and worm because trolling too many fish got off hook before I could set the hook.

Fished North in the float tube. I caught Ten 4 inch perch, one 3 inch lmb, and one 11 inch trout. This lake seems to have a bad milfoil problem along with stunted perch.
