Your nuts if you think I’m giving up my spots. 
Wish I could help.

Just looked it up looks like a lot of good fish are in there. If you going to troll try some bigger lures.
Even stop and jig those drop offs.
What you think your going for.

We used to troll crankbaits through the weedy shallow side in the spring for walleyes hooked but did not boat a large musky doing the same. Don't know what your target species are but the crappies were getting to real good size last winter through the ice. I have a depth map I can send you, maybe I can insert it with this post.

That shallow side launch is NOT a ramp. Your 2 ramps are on Carverton Road and inside the park - opposite side from the shallow side. Carverton Rd. ramp is open 24 hours, not sure what the official park hours are now.

I shouldn’t be posting my top lures for musky but I guess I let this one slip.
If you wanna really try for them phantom softail. If it has smallmouth in the lake than get that color or stick with the colors of the fish in the lake.
Try to know the depth and do the count. They will hit it on the way down. The lure will come to the top so letting it sink in the holes will work. Just a way to get the big ones if you wanna try.

Always do you figure 8s even if fishing from shore and it's deep. Also they are not really deep water fish so 10 to 20 feet

Good strike on the figure 8s. Plus something to point out if your using a big net. Do not stick it in the water like the kid did. I've done this and lost a lot. You scare them and loss them. If using a net skim the water as much as possible with some force.

Nice. I live about ten minutes from Slocum. Rarely fish it. Loaded with calico but tons of dinks. You need to weed thru a lot to get keepers. Seems to be a good walleye population but nobody seems to get many. Ice fishing is popular in the evening and after dark and produces lots of calico but same deal, small. There are decent ones to be caught.
