Shelby, let me be the first to say "Welcome Aboard" . There are a lot of places to set in west of Davis Besse on Rt.2 with close access to the reefs. Try Magee's East, Fenwick, Turtle Creek, and Wild Wings with plenty of bait shops available within a short drive.
Jigging and trolling has been the best. Jigging with 3/4 to 1 oz. jigs in purple, green, and some black hair jigs some tipped with shiners and maybe without (cya take some shiners). Trolling with Rapala DHJ-12's, Smthwick's Perfect 10's, and Reef Runner 800's.
Watch here for current areas for good catches it will change almost daily. Also look at happyhookerbaitandtackle.com for his post
on reported areas and some weather conditions. Good luck to you also.
