Bigger lakers definitely go shallow. Some of my largest have been shallow. If you want numbers sure you'll want to find schools on the lakes main basin.
Hello and welcome!I've caught some nice ones in 6 fow, nothing huge, but no smaller than other people I knew were catching in 40+ feet. If I still had that access I'd still be fishing there.I don't know Sunapee, never fished it (I should, it isn't that far from me), so I can't give you any advice on that lake. On the other hand, if you start with a map and a general idea, you'll probably find "your spot" over time. So if you're close to it, give it a spud check and give it a shot if you've got enough ice. All you'll have to lose is a few shiners.
Recent Sunapee trout. Reported at 28#! That ought to do it for ya.
