Salmon prefer water temps in the low to high 50s so, temperature wise, you should be able to get them off the dock for awhile. Best places to target them now are areas of warmer water or where rivers and streams enter the lake (smelt "run" up these streams and rivers to spawn). I would use smelt or shiners 1 to 3 feet under a bobber and cast those suckers as close to the edge of the ice as you can. Lake Trout are even a possibility this early in the Spring. Let us know if you have any luck.
