From the
www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paugus_Bay ....
"The bay is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including brook trout, rainbow trout, land-locked salmon, lake whitefish, smallmouth and largemouth bass, chain pickerel, white perch, black crappie, bluegill, and horned pout."

If your boat will fit through the large culvert tunnel opening underneath the railroad track, then Pickerel Cove, up the north end of Paugus Bay is the #1 most Milfoil infected spot on the big lake and is the place-to-go for fishing the really big chain pickerel.
