deep clear lakes

[rookie44]

I am just starting to fish a deep,clear,spring-fed lake in wisconsin.The locals tell me not to bother for eyes until dark.There's quite a few steep drops.Are those the places I should start looking or should I try shallow this time of year?

Sounds like a typical spot for steep breaks, BIG minnows, and fishing deep.

If there's baitfish shallow, then long-line trolling and after-dark trolling in shallow water is another typical pattern to try.

Good luck and let us know how you do.
