7/6/2013 9:56:00 AMThanks for posting GP. It pays to have a guide who know's what she/he is doing. I was out there friday morning too with one of my dogs tagging along and I threw everything at them and nothing to show for. I spotted fish on the finder. Fished at depths from 25 feet all the way to 90 feet using various flasher colors, various spin-glows in pink with double hooks tipped with Berkley maggots and no fish willing to play. I'm fearing that using my 9.9 Merc to troll may be my downfall by going too fast.
Any suggestions or advise on what was successful for your guide??

We were running 5 rods. 1 surface and 4 on DRs. in the morning we were running 10, 15, 20 & 25. Stuck with 20, 25 for 1/2 the morning then dropped down to 40 & 45 later to try and get out of the little fish. DickNite flashers 12" leader and various colors of spinner/beads double hooks tipped with corn marinated in a secret sauce. As far as where - not familiar with the lake yet so all I can really is sometimes we were with the other boats and sometimes not.
Mike - thanks been working on the "formula" that will keep her entertained and think I've got it worked out fairly well. Between work and vacation I've been out of touch. Should be settling back into my old groove here now, we'll have to get together soon.

7/7/2013 3:43:00 PMAll I had for the longest time was my 40HP Merc which obviously trolled way to fast. Until I was able to get a kicker, I drug 2 Home depot buckets behind the boat. With the 2 buckets, me and a mate, I was trolling between 1.2 and 1.6 mph.
