Yeah I would say a carb problem

Clogged up main jet in the carb. If it dies when you push the choke in, then it's not getting enough gas. Replacing spark plug(s) on a 4 stroke to solve a problem is not right. I've run the same plugs upwards of 4-5 years, and when things are tuned right, they remain light brown, no carbon, no oil fouling. Take the carb apart, and clean the internals with car cleaner, don't waste time and energy trying to spray it from the outside. Good luck

Just back from a week on Temagami. Trolling speeds varied from 1.1 up to 2.0 but 1.8 was sweet spot. Small gang trolls from lucky strike in front of Michigan stinger spoons with 5 ft leads. UV’s chartreuse and glow greens took majority of fish. Also ran clean Sutton spoons and small meat rigs side by side and gang troll/spoon still won. Nothing big but good numbers up to 5 lbs. That lake has huge numbers still and ran into very few other boats trolling. Most were jigging and that worked too for a few.

Is it carbed or injected how old is the gas was it sitting for long have you tried SEAFOAM in the fuel spray it in the intake try to run it the best you can with the additive and bunny ears or in the water let the seafoam get right in it I would say 1/2 an hour or so running then let it sit for a day check for any cracked suction lines the SEAFOAM should sort out and sticking issues don’t dismantle anything until you try this Just my 2 cents cheers peter

Flutter spoon like a Sutton would be my first choice. Also pump the rod as well..

Do you have Navionics or a hydrographic chart ? Lots of sunken humps and reefs surrounded by deeper water on Cameron. That's where I'd start.
