The family and I are heading up for a week of fun 6/27. We are staying on Mullett lake. Does anyone have a favorite technique they would like to share? I have pretty much trolled crankbaits in the past, but am planning on running bottom bouncers. I also picked up a couple of planer boards that I am hoping help the success rate.
I have also been on the south end of the lake, but will be on needle point so I was thinking of focusing on the sunken islands on the north end of the lake.
looking forward to some good discussion.

| I go up to Mullett every summer and drive all the way from Atlanta, GA to make the trip. It is always worth it, although I'm not an expert angler. Troll north and south along the drop off from 20' to 40' on the east side of the lake south of Needle point. Use a crankbait and expect some Walleye. Good luck and report back with results!

thanks for the tip! when you are trolling that deep do you use anything like downriggers, dipsy divers, etc to get the bait down further than it normally runs?
Also, I have been hearing that most success comes before or after sunset - do you also find that to be true?

| Sorry for the late reply. Any luck? We use deep diving crank baits. Afternoon fishing is not productive, evening and morning is definitely best.

| we did OK given a very strong mayfly hatch. We managed to boat 2-3 every night. We targeted smallies in the morning. I will say that I am very happy with the planer boards - that's the only way to go. I need to get better at detecting a strike when the water is choppy. We had most of our luck on the north end of the lake. Also, every fish we caught was filled with crayfish . . . .
