Black-skirted Buzzbaits work too. Zara Spook is another killer for shallow fish.
Summer fish are deeper..good time to slow-roll 1oz Spinnerbaits or rip big Jigs near bottom.
Small fluo red worked for us up in Geraldton years ago.
For Quinte I would use FireTiger blades on chartreuse beads.
Shield lakes..gold blades on red beads.
I used to catch 'em with a small white crappie jig or silver spinner at the Hearn generating station.
