Thumbs up

Apex lures, three feet of line, willow leaf, and a pink lady to get you down to depth.

Caught them in spoons too...Len thompsons, 5 of diamonds, red and whites, blue and silver spoons and they also work great on pike and eyes too.
I think you should look at tackle that can target all species of fish if limited on space etc which in this case the spoons will work great.
Your ugly stick, 7" medium/heavy, reel that can handle 200 yards of line and go with Berkeley fire line smoke Color 20lbs will haul anything that the lake will throw at you and then some. I don't even use leaders as this line is very durable. Caught many a laker trolling, then over to eyes and into the bays for gators with this type of set up. Remember it's fishing, which you want to turn into catching don't need to have a thousand dollars worth of fancy tackle just a small variety that gets it done.
Tight lines and post up a few pics.

Fish caught on the above type set up...then caught a few gators later on.
