I took my son today to Eagle Creek for some cats. We managed to land 32 with the Largest being 6.5 pounds and we had five that went 5 pounds then they went down from there. We had a blast the action was fast. Here is a picture of him holding two five pounders. We landed three of them at the same time. All fish were weighed and turned loose.http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...r/102_0255.jpg

Take a look at my website at the boat pictures. I have rod holders off the back of the boat and off the front as well. I use the back ones for the lines straight behind the boat and I have two poles off the front one on each side using planner bobbers to pull the line of to the side.Quote:

I made some big bobbers out of pool noodles and 1/2" pvc. These are the ones I place a 2 oz weight on for the big baits and live bluegill.
I then troll just fast enough to keep the baits moving SLOW....
I hope this helps.

how fast do you troll?
Maybe .5 mph is all.
