Hot N Tot,
I have been early fishing for a few years and the biggest fish have been trolling with cranks, big deep reefrunners, rapala husky jerks. You do not have to go all the way to Kellys to get them though. Just get off the reefs and search for them. We have caught them near A,B,C cans and just off Niagara. As always depending on the conditions you have to run different depths, areas, colors until you find them. When you do hang on because they can be nice. 7-8# average weights....an occasional 10-11#Good luck, we will be out on the 18-20th.
