Find Structure, like rock reefs, with weeds, near deep water...Cast and/or troll around it. Don't be afraid to cast out over the deep water.

this will help. Speak to Harold (lodge owner) for hot spots and what to watch out for. The French can be a lower unit eater, so stick to the routes Harold mentions and note his locations for dangerous rocks. He will also provide you with a map of the area that he marks up for different types of structure, drop offs, weedbeds and spots were guys have had success.

DO a search on this site for Wolseley. I have a few reports out there - one from last September. I usually stay at Wolseley for a week each September, but will have to miss this year. Been going there for several years now or so and we typically target musky only.
