Thats actually exactly what i would use. I would use something with a smiley blade since you can troll slower with those. and just creep along till you find a school of em. Then if you wanted you could throw blades, or jigs tipped with worm once you find a big school. I have also done fairly well pulling cranks this time of year up there. Usually get a nice one that way. Depends on water temp, wind, and where the fish are at in there. And i would do a little searching using the finder first. but usually 10 feet to 30 feet is where im at in there.
