Look for wind blown shorelines and structure, watch your electronics for fish. Troll about 1/2 mph. Use leaches, crawlers and minnows. If using a crawler use the worm blower to give it a puff of air that will keep it of the bottom. I like to use the smallest sinker I can get away with, 1/8 oz in less than 10 feet of water and 3/16 oz in 10-15 feet of water and 20-35 feet 1/4 oz. When you feel the bite release your line and feed it to them to a count of 10 and reel back to the fish slow tell you feel the fish and set the hook. Good Luck!
