There were some pretty detailed write-ups as to where and what to use.

I have caught a couple just fishing off our dock with worm's on the bottom in the middle of the day. Our most productive way to catch them is with glow in the dark buzz bombs tipped with worms or trout chunks at night. We fish off of a couple different rocky points on the lake in about 35'-45' of water. Jig slowly on the bottom lifting only about 6" off the bottom.
