It's going to depend on the weather. Been cold, so I'd expect them to be deeper. I usually start at 12ft if I don't have any indication what they are doing in the spring. Minnows on a Kentucky rig and/or 16th oz jigs with black/chart or yellow grubs/tubes.
What part of the lake are you going to?

But, that's just me :p I'm sure the guys that fish there alot will have different ideas. In reality, I've never trolled or Spider Rigged on those lakes, so I'm just speculating on the pound test lines for those methods. ;)
