trolling the Ohio anyone had any luck with this

Has anyone trolled the Ohio River in the Louisville area? I will be between 18 Mile and six mile several times next week.

Since my wife wants to cruise the river I thought I would entertain myself and troll with a couple of Rods out the back.

My plan is to utilze the Gizz 4 Shad and maybe live bait. Since she will be with me and I doing all the work, this seems easiest.

I will troll the banks mainly and the points around the Islands.

Anyone try this? Anyone think I am nuts for trying this with drunken women on the boat?

I am open for all suggestions. What do you think?
