I had a hard time finding them yesterday, went to deeper water 20-25ft but still fished 12-14ft down, found some structure and irregularities in the bottom, and slayed them, just kept trolling back over that spot till I was out of minnows, it seems to me in Summer long lining or spider rigging is the best way to find them, especially if You are fishing a lake with little structure in it, or if you dont have decent electronics to find shad and bait balls.

Onero22, welcome from Louisiana. I looked at your post because it said need some advice. Obviously I can't help you with the lake you fished, but aren't the C,c guys awesome. Great advice guys. You can learn so much on this sight.
Just wanted to tell everyone that has posted on my thread here, THANK YOU, for all the tips and advice. I figured that when i started this I would get a couple of responses at best, but it turns out that you fellows are pretty chatty folks, which is awesome. I have learned more in the last couple of days with you guys than I have in the last year on my own. So I am headed to Bass Pro friday for some new tackle and will be hitting CC bright and early saturday morning. I willl surely update you guys, good or bad. Thanks.
If You are going to Bps for the Capps and Coleman rig, they do not sell the 3 way barrel swivel. I order my stuff from Grizzly Jig co. in Mo., they are much more reasonable on most tackle.
Thanks Tom but I am going to try the troll tech by mr crappie
Your local Walmart should have the caps and Coleman rigs by BnM ........ Worth a look , I like em pretty wellQuote:

Be easier to vert troll with out knowing your speed..... Just keep your lines vertical or very close to vertical...... if your gonna long line it's gonna be a trial and error kinda thing..... Is your trolling motor variable speed? ...... If you have a smart phone you can use its GPS to tell your speed......
