What lakes would you like to troll?
This time of year, you can do well just trolling on top (e.g., throwing lures out the back of the boat and driving forward). As the summer wears on, you'll need a way to get down, like with pop gear. I don't find pop gear particularly fun to fish with, but it certainly is an option. Pop gear is basically a bunch of spinning blades which rotate around a wire line. You attach your fishing line to the front of the pop gear and then tie some fishing line between the back of the pop gear and your lure or hook with a worm.
Diving lures can also be useful, especially in shallower lakes.
