What technique would you recommend long lining or spider rigging?

a tandem rigged 1/8 oz each on braid in deep water along the dam of said lake on deep cover vertically jigged in a hold it still as you can presentation about a foot off the bottom ……
20 to 30 foot of water I would think ….maybe deeper under bait balls

What ever you do, do it slow. ------- No, slower.

Depends on the mood of the fish. I fished two days last week, the water temps were in the low 40's both days. Moving slow 0.3 they would hit it and spit it. 0 5 to 0.7 was the key to get an aggressive bite. My vote would be spider rigging, let the fish dictate the speed they want it after that.

Spider Rigging, slow Spider Rigging deep. 18-22 are getting them here now in 20-24ft water.

I just want to know what lake has 35deg water ?? Most of the lakes I know about are reporting ~45deg water temps.

My favorite and most productive method for cold water fish is what Ketchn said. 1/8 or 1/4 oz with a 2 1/2 or 3” body resembling a shad. 50’ of water and suspended somewhere about 30’ is what I usually found. Hold it still with a rod in each hand and after about 30 seconds drop the rod tip about an inch, count to 2, and bring it back where it started. Thump imminent. Suspending around timber or brush pile, maybe a ledge or log, makes it that much better.

The fish are lethargic and won’t expend any energy to chase anything, but they will saunter over and flare their gills to get a snack that is moving as slow or slower than they are. Good fishing.
