Found they were biting at 15 to 25 feet -- had 2 colors of lead core out on 1 rod and my downrigger set between 15 and 25 feet. Maine Guide DB Smelt was the most productive lure for me all 3 days.
I for one am glad they're taking the pressure off the lake this year by cancelling the Winni Derby. Hoping to see better catches all season long!

Nice job M.I. !! Those are some nice Salmon. I didn't catch any Salmon, but yesterday I did catch a couple of nice bows ( around 19 - 20") in shallow water (one color down). Couldn't get the Salmon to bite for the life of me! Go figure!!
