Leech Lake Opener 2016

Heading up to Leech Lake for opener again this year. Staying at Pikedale Lodge by partridge point. Did alright last year jig and a shiner on partridge but would like to jump around so other areas close by. Didnt have leadcore or trolling setups last year but do now and heard that can produce in the shallows in evening. Looking for any help or suggestions on different areas to try close by. Only have a 16.5 alumacraft so cant cross the whole lake but willing to try other areas. Thanks in advance! Whats in your leech lake opener tackle box!? Any color suggestions? Best cranks to use?

We just jig on opener. With all the boats in every single spot. It is very difficult to troll. Possible at night time. Last year the rollers were ridiculous but spot lock and casting shallow saved us after dark when everyone else went in. I have a feeling that the water temp will be much higher due to the early spring we are seeing right now.
