Am out at least once a week trolling cranks on Priest. I generally use the Bandits or the knockoffs from Academy, but sometimes a Wally Diver will work too. Always in the shad colors. My 70lb electric will drag my big boat around for over 8 hours at 1.5mph even on a windy day on one charge. Will catch just about everything in the lake that way. I use 12lb test both to help get my lure back when snagged and also when the occasional big hybrid or catfish hit. No houses around the lake so there is a lot of wildlife - especially fun to watch the osprey fishing. Even during the summer you can go out during the week from daylight till about 10 and pretty much have the place to yourself. When the first jet ski shows up then its time to go home.
