Swan Trolling

Gday all - I want to take the boat out on monday in the swan and try a bit of trolling for chopper Tailor or Herring. Anyone got any advice as to which spots would be worth a try and what lures? Twistys?

scorpion 35's (not the sneaky versions) and laser pro 45's. I'd keep the troll speed down or they wont swim well.
