The Wind should have a near-record return this year, I'd be there the last week of April and the first couple weeks of May for sure. Hot orange magnum Warts are the lure of choice and you'll be trolling in about 1--15 feet of water. I use fairly stout line to keep my fish under control and away from the 10,000 other boats - most of which are run by near sighted retired schoolteachers.
Good news is that the bubble area has been expanded downstream for several hundred yards and this should help ease the crowding. The launch area is crowded and the immediate area is shallow. Me careful not to troll close to the point or the bank maggots will pitch lead at you. Lots of traffic, but it's a kick...
