I fished with a guide there once and we did pretty well. I would recommend doing that unless you get some good intel. For LTJ he basically putted around with sonar and side scan out where he had found fish previously and when we got on top of them we dropped precisely to their depth and vertically jigged bass assassin type lures. Very, very similar to the bay except that the fish were sometimes suspended. He actually used line counter reels to get exactly in the zone. There is a LOT of bait in that lake, so you'll show incredible marks. Only stop on the ones with rockfish marks around. Sometimes the fish will bust bait on the surface and you can get them top water sight casting. Didn't work out for us. Sometimes the lure bit is slow and they resort to live bait. They actually use in line side planer when doing this. There are some big fish there - I got about a 35 incher this trip on the jig.
