Yep, eyes on inland lakes are up shallow feeding if the water isn't too hot.  I've run F-11 rapalas off of inline boards for saugeyes and done pretty good.

typically in lake erie the best way Ive found is fishing 7 to 14 fow with green or chartruce reef runners. Inland waters now lil different, depending on above ground or below ground, above ground I run a DT6 shad or sexy shad by KVD in 7 to 28 fow depending where fish r holding, below groung I`ll run a hj6 or hj7 siilver or gold pattern. works greatt 4 me . good luck

Above ground and below ground are referring to types of reservoirs.

Make sure you are real familiar with the lake you are trolljng on at night . Don't want to tear up your boat .   Also , indepthoutdoors has a dvd for sale on night trolljng .
