My approach is to long-line troll stickbaits until I find a pod of fish/bait. Then I'll set up on that spot and vertically jig Rapala Jigging Raps, Fire Tiger, Chrome, and the classic black/white all work well. Pay attention to your graph, being just 5 feet off from the pod and you won't get hit. Spot lock is super helpful, or just adjusting for your drift.
