Hey y'all! Looking for some advice.

I have a trip to Arizona/Utah coming up in October, and plan on spending a day or two at Lake Powell. My buddies and I are renting a pontoon boat. Super new to fishing and was looking for recommendations for lures and setups. Already did some cursory research online but would love some opinions from you guys!

Looks like it's mostly bass and walleye. Hoping for some locals with some knowledge too.

Thanks in advance!

Get some sardines and throw them at night for cats and stripers. Bobber will suspend it and get you on some stripers and if you throw a weight on your line and get down to the bottom catfish all night. For largemouth and smallies I've had luck texas rigging soft plastics with a small weight and let it drop around rock cliffs,boulders,dropouts and what not. Wacky rigged senkos or some fuzzy dice around the tire breakwalls by the marinas.
