Shallow spot gets to 2ft deep. Singed by five red buoys

I Had fished this lake extensively in 2013 and I spent a lot of time fishing deeper unproductive water. I learned that its a difficult lake to dissect and its humbled me as well.

"Golden Lake has some beautiful depth contours that make it ideal for bass and pike. Angler’s Atlas member adleach wrote several posts about Golden Lake on the Angler’s Atlas website: “I spent a few hours in the afternoon scouting the northwest stretch of the lake, from the Bonnechere River Launch Point to Brudenall Creek. The water temperature sub-surface was 56 degrees Celsius, wind direction was from the southeast, the sky was completely cloud-covered and the air temperature was below 20 degrees. “I was targeting Pike. I was able to find several groups of fish on the sonar, most of which were either on the bottom or suspended over the bottom in 20 to 25 feet of water. “I casted spinner baits in 10 feet of water and jigged a north land forage shiner with only one strike. On my return trip, I dragged a shiner on a bottom bouncer in 20-26 feet of water where I was able to mark several dozen fish near bottom. “People fishing from a weir at the Bonnechere river were able to hook several fish moving into the system, and one person, after five or six hours of fishing, was able to land a 6 lbs. northern, still fishing with a suspended minnow on a slip bobber.” As well, adleach posted several map markers listing everything from hot spots to warnings.
