I will get out soon,Ice at SBH launch is almost gone and warm days ahead.Usually my early season trolling program is either old Hot-N-Tots or Flatfish,still very active at slow speeds,pulled with bottom bouncing rigs.I troll slow at 1 to 1.2 mph with electric trolling motor following 12 to 15 ft structure edges.Usually water clarity is stained from snow melt off,so firetiger color works best.

The "physics "teacher will tell you water at 38 degrees is about the same temperature is reached from top surface to bottom of the water. It is the "turnover "event you hear about.
