Where would you fish for lake trout here? Pretty new to it looking for some guidance.

Wow that’s one hell of a drop off

That flatter spot at around 96 could be promising

As far as I’m aware (this is assuming there’s any fish there, and it’s not a random deadzone), that during the midday you’re best off fishing at the bottom of the rapid dropoff (somewhere in the 96- 102ft zone), while early morning/evening where the fish are typically hunting I’d be up near the 14-20ft area, where visibility is better and they’re looking for baitfish/etc.
This is less true for the winter if you’re up in the northern states/Canada and there’s significant ice cover and cold water, where I’ve tended to have better luck in the shallower areas (shallow side of the dropoff) at all times of the day.
