S.H. The techs we used last year were Back trolling Kwikfish, Fishing Kwikfish on anchor, Herring trolled and Backbounced. Those were are staples with the majority of the fish Caught on the Kwikfish , Just about any combination of silver and Chartruese worked for us real well, but we caught fish on most of the colors we tried just some worked better than others. We looked for water that was around 25' deep and for the most part didnt have any trouble finding fish. We fished mostly from I-205 up but fish were caught all they way down river, the lower you get the more the tides come into effect. Then you can troll on the incoming and high slack. Good Luck.
