I don't have a boat, but I have caught them from the dam. Use cut bait or chicken livers. Sucker or squawfish works well.

If you use liver, either tie them up in a piece of old panty hose, or use a treble hook. Poke the eye on the treble through the liver, then tie the hook on the line. If you can't use a treble or panty hose, use a gentle lob cast. This will keep the liver from flinging off when you cast.

I'm not sure if algae blooms are an issue yet, but if you see floating green scum on the water, move to another area. I've never caught a fish in an area where that junk was present.
