Just bought a boat to get myself out on the water this year. Last year was too much fun on my friends boat

Been floating herring from the shore. And, sorry if this is a no no question. Feel free to tell me to go swim if it is.... Are people having success with tube and a worm this year? I've been focused on shoreline fishing so I havent paid any attention to whats working off a boat for trolling. Just curious.
Thanks guys.
