Good evening guys. I spent all weekend trying to figure out Squam Lake. Caught a ton of fish but only had a few keepers but the were basically fry. I am having trouble finding the bigger smallies here. I feel like I’m looking in the wrong direction. I’ve been targeting offshore structure. Mainly the countless reefs that lake holds and I’ve been fishing in 25 fow due to the thermocline being right there. But unfortunately I haven’t picked up any good keepers. Am I missing something to the puzzle here. I’d imagine they would be deep but am I not going deep enough? Or am I fishing the wrong type of structure? Any help to point me in the right direction is much appreciated 

I am on Squam 5-6 days a week. The high pressure of the last couple days have slowed things down, but we have been averaging 10-12, 1.5-3.5 pounders with the exception of Wed.
