A purple clown stinger has produced fish for me every time out. Last week i pulled a 5lb laker and a 6lb rainbow with it. I also have luck with a tandem trolling streamer with a wiggle fin in front of it, in perch color. I would say 6-8:30 pm are the best times. Trolling streamers in fall can be alot of fun. Mickey finn, orange, perch, and black all work great. I troll 3-4 mph with lines out around 100'
