I was out last night...there is actually two long nets running n/s right in front of the stacks, first one starts around 50' and goes to 65' and then a small gap and the other one starts, going out to about 80'! Haha he dropped them right on my marks from last weekend, so I had to go off and find a new spot...which ended up working out quite well

I stand corrected, thanks. I didn't see the one in shallower. If they follow my marks from yesterday they are going to head home fairly disappointed....

That was me @chefboyardee on your starboard side when you were going out. We put 2 in the box, 70 feet of water, 10 colours with a Reef Runner blue and purple. The water temp has gone up 6 degrees in a week or so. Marked many right on bottom as deep as 75 feet of water. They are deeper now.
The gas wells do not have flags they are simply a white marker that look like a piece of 4" PVC drainage pipe sticking 3-4 feet out of the water; some have a red tip but not many. There aren't too many of them on the deep side of the elbow drop off but there are lots more further West up on the flats.
The white marker with the flag was the end of the net and it is a 'canned net' that you are seeing so there is floats in between each end (these aren't too common down this way, more so down the in the West end of the lake) . Weighted gill nets are more common here and have no floats, just a flag on each end so they are even harder to see sometimes.
On another note, I had the temperature probe down on Wednesday out in that area and there is finally a thermocline starting to set up at around 36' or so. The surface temp is up to 78' and the water was 66F just above the thermocline and in the 50's just below. The TC should move deeper fairly quickly with all the hot calm weather and I would expect the fish will move deeper as well as it does. We got all our fish above 30 fow Wednesday again which seems pretty strange for this time of year.

They could be targeting Whitefish Now, that deep 80'.
