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!

Mid summer mornings with no wind look for reefs that top out at 5’-10’. Try surface baits, toss them out on the reef tops and slowly pop them back to the boat. When the smally hits wait a couple seconds before setting the hook. Good luck.
