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

one of my most favorite ways to fish is casting the shorelines in the spring. Look for rocky shorelines with sand and gravel mixed in, also look for a slow brake on the shoreline as it stays shallow coming out from the shoreline further. Tie a small snap and hook your bait to that and throw right up to where the water touches the shoreline and very your retrieve to the boat. I like the DT-4 because they cast like a rocket and very durable on the rocks and they have large hooks. I also like using mono for this as it gives a little shock absorber when the smally hits. Check the last 5' of your line often as there are a lot of rocks and it gets nicked up quickly, that's why I use the XT mono, if there is a nick pull off 5' and retie.. Good Luck and see you on the water.
