Awesome fish! Ive managed to get 3 of them this winter out of Otisco Lake in New York, one 16" and 2 24" fish. I have gotten all three of mine near weedbeds and panfish concentrations....you guys get any gills or perch nearby? Ive been using big shiners for them.
#1 tip: Listen to the fish, not people. Fish may be dumb, but people are dumber.
