I do alot of eyeball fishing, none on the bigD tho. My advice is to try live bait, whatever is prominent the time of year u fish. The D has lots of shad/herring that would prob be my first choice, right next to throwing jigs. Ive seen 2 variations that work well. The first is to jig the river using a bobber in a slip setup w a swivel/bead stop. Lets you maintain somewhat vertical and u can jig thru the eyelet and get some distance to your cast. The second is w offshore planer boards mini version, I have tried this myself and works well. U use the planer to get across the river and let the current run your crankbait or lure down and it fishes extremely slow, youtube has videos on it. I troll alot of crankbaits for eyes, my favs are berkeley flickr shads, they kill em and are cheap too so if you snag or lose one it doesnt hurt as bad. rapalas shad raps and tail dancers are right behind and the classic spinner rig works great, you can use a bottom bouncer or lindy runner and cast them if hooked well. Do some digging on youtube u be surprised what you can learn.......
