Answer
if you are in a boat and it has down-riggers I would start at dawn with one side depths set at 20 and 30 feet and the other side at 15 and 25 and I would focus more on the south part of the lake if you are wanting pike and muskie they will be in the north part along with bass as there the water will warm up the soonest and what is going to mix the whole thing up is how deep that lake actually is. I would think facing the sun with the longest strait trolling distances will produce your bigger fish but I would also think about changing things up like when turning around and going back the other way speeding up the troll during the direction changes and slowing down on the straight lines. If you are using lead core start with four colors and as the sun gets higher in the sky you will need to go deeper.
