More spring time for trolling but if we here walleye biting late in year we can troll then. Late in year we like to perch fish. That was all we did last year. We already have harnesses. Gold with red eyes. Our normal spot is out by toledo water intake side but will trailer boat to other spots if we need to. Just new at trolling and we are kind of lost at it.

water intake area
spoons, michigan stingers or similar spoons, netcraft spoons work great, colors helment, citrus, puple demom, cat dog, to name a few, back side of spoons is important, chartuse , bright pink, or gold. perch rigs skipper nine rigs or similar rigs on bottom with slack line, later on in season for walleyes double willow leaf worm harness, this is a start we will everyone else expanded on the personal best colors.

Down Deep Husky Jerk DDHJ 10 or DDHJ 12 in standard Glass Colors to start then add custom colors as money and desire would permit.
800 Series Reef Runner (Large) Reef Runner standard(?) colors. Maybe some of the veteran crank-bait guys will chime in with their favorite spring colors. By spring time I am assuming you would want to troll for fish during the spawn.Wakina

For early spring, it's hard to go wrong with Reef Runner 800 series. Some of my favorite colors are bare naked, green flash, pearl ghost, cranberry crusher, toxic purple, barbie, wonderbread. Size 12 Down Deep Husky Jerks in firetiger, purple glass perch, clown are good too.

The water temperature and water clarity can be a key factor on what to use and how fast to troll.

Early spring i like to use crankbaits. Last year we mostly used bandits and deep diver hunky jerks. I have added some of my favorite custom colors of each.
