You gotta love the waves from the east side to west side. We launched at cicsco beach at one o'clock on Thursday and had to go across the lake to load. When we got to the marina it was still pretty calm so went over to the rockpile. We found one group of fish hanging on one hump in thirty two feet of water. We started on the east or west of this hump and it was forty five to fifty feet deep. We caught three nice macks from this area. They were 9lbs, 11lbs, and 15lbs. We were trolling #13 grey countdown rapalas with downriggers. We would set the downrigger at 27 feet in the deeper water and cross over the hump and with the countdown rapala we were practically hitting them on the head. It was some of best Mack fishing I have done in a long time. We only had about an hour of trolling on the eastside and had no bites. Plenty of bank fisherman when came off the lake at 6:30pm. We counted about 15 on the marina.
