I use riggers a lot on priest this time of year. Run them around 15-25' or wherever your marking fish. Try around the major creek mouths, and the islands. This one was caught off preist a few years back by my wife using a 4" swimbait, went 10#. One of the reasons I love using the riggers is to learn the lake. Another good reason is because the schools move. You will find that once you have some key spots located, they are good to return to. But when the spots are not holding you can cover a lot of water. There have been times I have searched a lot of water without hardly seeing a fish, then pull into a cove, or creek, or point, and there they are. The spots I have found as hot spots while rigging also excel when you return with live bait.
