Look for mid lake wind blown humps-rock plies, I like to use a braid and tie about a 6' piece of mono or floro direct to the braid. Use your electronics to locate the humps and look for active fish on the humps with a live unit if you have one or just start throwing onto them starting deep and moving onto them. let your jig sink to the bottom and jig it back using a snap action and pause between snaps to let it drop back down. A good quality rod makes a big difference in detecting bites. Good Luck

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. 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!
