Follow the boats....  big derby this weekend, also probably why you won't get too much help right now.  But there should be lakers right out front of Sampson and points north.  Often good pike fishing right around there too.  But i'd go out the chute and immediately start looking in 60-100' on the shelf, you can take an inner tube out from Sampson and catch lakers.  If they aren't there look deeper just off the shelf or try a bit further north.  Use white/chartreuse/glow for the lakers.
