Went out this past saturday 4/19, tried the casting out at first, but wasn't nessasary. Just jig straight up and down, very your jigging strokes. Try longer ones 1-2' stroke, making sure to feel the jig all the way down as the fish may hit on the down stroke, which in this case very light so you would just notice your jig stop falling. As well with short pumps, just 3 to 6".
We noticed as the wind front came in and we were drifting faster to do short pumps only 2-3".
Minnow size doesn't matter, they will hit a small one and a big one just as well, and even just using the body. What matter's is color and size. Very your color through the day if they seem to shut down. As well a slow drift would use a light jig 3/8-5/8 oz. And in a fast drift 5/8-1 oz.
A key thing that really helped we found as a tip was to use a ball bearing swivel with a foot leader, really cut's down on line twisting.

Good luck and keep a tight line!
