have fished LG the last few years. Lead cores , riggers with orange were usually the ticket. Cowbells with live minnow 18 inch back were on fire but good luck finding bait in local shops. I hung around Northwest bay mostly so can't speak to north end, but if you run to NW bay, hit the ledge at southwestern point of tongue mountain ( 100 -200 feet from shore). Lakers stack up there most of year.
