I have been invited for a couple of winter "houseboat parties" at Bullfrog. During the day, we used regular boats to find schools of stripers and then using jigged spoons fished vertically. Trolling was productive only for walleye, which could also be caught casting swim bait jigs, underspins, and blade baits to rocky shelves.
At night, we dropped larger jigs tipped with cut anchovy right off the houseboat stern or from the docks (which they do not technically allow, but there are no marina people there to check, so...) White and glow tubes also worked at night.
Be prepared for cold. Full heavy coveralls were the rule at night, much like ice fishing.
