Sounds like you had fun.
How fast do you trolling? What colors work best for you? I'm gonna try some trolling soon. Just order $50 of bandits from BPS and waiting on them to come in.
Between 1.5 and 2 mph. Any color that had chartreuse. I also ordered some from BPS. Hope they get here before Friday.Quote:

Sounds like a good trip.

Some nice crappie Slick, I'd like to try trolling crankbaits down here sometimes.
good catch
Were you using the 200 or the 300 series Bandits?
Great trip! Call me at home when you have a chance.
300 about 15' deep.Quote:

I was on greers last week, trying to figure out how to catch walleye. hired a guide to try to put us on fish, but it didn't pan out. we trolled harnesses with nightcrawlers, on ledges and humps. never did find any fish. I learned a lot, but was a little dissapointed that we didn't catch anything. we fished in the morning also.
Line counters on 2 reels 100' the others ones I would just cast as far as I could.Quote:

Couple questions for you Slick. Do you use your electric or gas motor? And what line do you use?
Ceb I have used both but I like the electric the most because of speed control. I had to pull a couple 5 gallon buckets with the gas motor to get under 2 mph. As for line I use 10# Wally Marshall high visibility, and make sure to get a plug knocker.Quote:

Yes I am using front rod holders but I have them mounted on a 20' pontoon.Quote:

LRJoe I have been running 2 rods in front of the boat like spider rigging using a 3 oz egg sinker above a 3 foot leader.Quote:
