I spend 99.9 % if the time trolling. 75% of the time with worm harnesses. I use some plugs and spoons. I need to get out more. Work consumes way too much time. I plan to do more bottom bouncing next year. I don't use lead core but from what i hear it's been productive. I'm going to look into getting a lead core rod & reel. I'll have to see what fishkiller will be selling come spring.
