Launched out of Elk Rapids at 8:30 and went looking to jig for  Cisco.  First three spots close to the harbor in 40 to 60 FOW didn't yield anything.  Some fish were there but no bites.  Went out to my favorite Lake Trout spot and caught one jigging but moved around quite a bit and couldn't get another bite.  After that we tried trolling in shallow water, 15 to 20 ft, with flat lines, one color and three color lead core and stick baits.  Zip, zilch, nada.  No fish in shallow.  It must be too late.  The water was 64 degrees on the surface.  We then tried jigging in some more likely spots further North.  Caught two Cisco and a 26 inch Lake Trout to round out the morning.  We finished with two each Cisco and Lake Trout.  Much slower day than our last trip out.
