go straight out until you 70 feet of water minimum.

Black and purple or watermelon(pink and green) are my go to colors.

Dipseys ; I used big one last trip out, set on 3, used only 65 feet of line.
When I set it deeper, got no fish. But that was that day.

Bigger fish tend to hold closer to the bottom on sunny days, but a got a 9 pounder last time out with 65 feet of line on the dipsey plus 3 eyes between 3 and 4 pounds.

Lead core: had one line with 5 colors one with 4. Both caught fish but they were smaller. Stick baits on lead work well. Put half a nightcrawler on back hook. If you use a whole worm, it kills the bait action and no strikage.

You can run sticks on dipseys too.

Don't troll too fast 1.6 to 2 mph.


Good luck, hope the fish are active. If you don't see fish on your graph don't panic. If they are high in the water column, they will spook sideways way before your transducer sees them, but they will still hit especially if you have boards.
