[Crankbait]

Go fishing now, bring a heater, what have you. Look for sharp drops near shore, cast just beyond the drop, herring fillet, at least 18" leader, a decent larger single hook allows bait to flutter, the windier the better.

If you've never caught back to back big girls, now is the time. I wait for these days like kids wait for Halloween. Dress warm, keep your camera handy.

For fly fishing crowd, if windy 25 km+, cast parallel to the shoreline with or against wind, silver/white with a line of red or red tail. Strip with long-long-5 sec pause-long-long-pause repeat. By long, pull back 3 foot lengths fast and wait for streamer to get down, don't top water.
