or you can put on a trolling plate,just put a happy troller on our 210 triumph this year works really well, bought used on ebay for under 40 bucks,

the weapon? is that the get-up with the single hook with beads and a spinner? so a nightcrawler harness with a egg sinker around the loop? will give it a try. thanks for all your help. i figure....2......3 years i should be able to stop asking questions lol thanks fellas

A 2 hook harness and crawler, cast out, count down and reel.

We used to throw 5 gallon buckets 2 on each side...looks redneck as hell but got us down in the 1.7-1.8mph with the big motor.cheap way out?but bags are the way to go....

i dont have a troll motor. just a big ole inboard. therefore i havent trolled with it. i was wondering if i caught a good current would i be able to drift fast enough to simulate having a troll motor and possibly get same results. i think the slowest i can get the engine going is about 2.5 just got the thing last year. old boat. old motor. old depthfinder. boat needs a complete makeover but in the meantime id still like to catch some fish. did really good jigging first trip out. maybe beginners luck but all colors were working. around 15fow. last saturday not so good. trolling seems like it always works if done rite so im hoping for some more advice. thanks guys. be patient with me. this is all BRAND new to me.ive never walleye fished in my life. i didnt even know what a walleye looked like until a about 2 months ago. always enjoyed fishing but havent been to lake erie in over 20 years. and i was just a child then. wasnt out there to learn anything, just catch perch. so im buying little things as i go for the walleye now.

Everyone has given some great advice. You may want to either go on a walkon charter or get with one of the members. You will cut your learning curve by half. Like gettin jiggy said we can get you a pair of 48 inch bags to slow you down for $100. but like a lot of members said we will be starting drifting/casting season.
