I've had my best luck on brined herring while trolling but have had some success with spinners. Have not tried anchoring yet but if I get tired & sleepy I may just give it a try.
I do take to the upper river when the lazy fishin down below subsides but with the new 18' windshield boat I'd hate to wrap it around a submerged stump or ground it on a gravel bar around Porter way... I sure do miss my 16' Willie Predator for this area.
I caught a few jacks from the bank but my bank days are few & far between anymore.
Truth be told my boat did way better in 2015 than this year, in the first 2 weeks of the season we killed 17 fish (mainly hatchery fish). It was like TPTB stretched gill nets across the river on Oct. 1st with no fish for a week then they closed it.

I learned a lot from an old local who was willing to teach me this fishery, I sure miss that ole coot!!!
