Ottawa River (Deux-Rivieres/Mattawa area)

Hey everybody! Been lurking here for a while and finally decided to register an account.
I am heading to our family cottage on the Ottawa River from August 2nd-August 8th and I was curious if anybody had advice as to which lures/bait to use that late in the summer? I have a few secret spots that are typically filled with walleye and i'd love to target. I had planned to try with just a snelled hook and sinker with a live minnow for one and also jigging using worms. Any other recommendations in case these options fail?
Our cottage is very secluded and one of the only cottages on the water there for many KMs on each side but plan to maybe troll the 3 islands behind Santa's Island. Any spot recommendations? I'm not interested in fishing near Mattawa since that's a good boat distance away.
