No need to get too technical with this, your tactics are not that much different than any other time of year. Use your standard 8 -12 pd. mono or copolymer line. Add a strong, but compact cross lockl snap swivel to change baits quickly Drop your lures back a good distance behind the boat, about 100 - 125 ft. and purchase yourself a few deep diving minnow baits such as Rapala DHJ14's in Cln, Black/Gold and Firetiger or Reef Runners, Vibrax High back minnows or Mann's Stretch 15/20's in similar colours. You want to be covering the top 20 to 30 ft. of the water column. First thing in the morning or at night, the fish will typically be higher in the water column. If you want to get your baits deeper, add a splitshot one at a time til you connect with some fish. Just look for some boats and get in the general vicinity. Keep the troll slow enough to keep transmitting a pulse up the rod. Good luck, and wear your life jacket at all times, or wear a floater suit. Water is cold and getting colder by the day. Remember the slot limit in place, and you'll want to release anything over the slot anyways because they're not very tasty. Have a great time, and let us know how you make out. Tight lines.
