Ledges
With the cold front last week I went deep. Early morning was key followed by dusk. 5:30am-8am fishing 14-18 feet with a clam JM Rattlin Blade spoon in pink with a crappie minnow. Slower during the day except for pike on tipups. Followed by evening moving to 22-26 feet of water. Using the same bait for most of our bites. Also got a few on the clam pinhead jigging minno spoon (gold/black).
