I've been fishing with bottom bouncers for awhile, but I'd like to get a little more advanced and catch some more fish.
I just purchased two planer boards. I have some dipsy divers and stinger spoons. Any other good lures to use?
How fast should I troll, how far should I put out the lines? Any help is appreciated, I'd love to start catching more fish.
-Thanks!
bump...anyone?
Look back through the posts, especially "Spoontang". Most of these guys will give numbers on what they are catching fish on-Type of diver/jets and settings along with the amount of line let out.

This time of year, 2-2.2 mph is good with hard baits. If you troll meat, slow it down to under 1.5.
Jets 30 or 40 do best. If you stack them start with 30s out 110ft and 40s out 80 ft or so. Exactly what depth they are is debateable, but play with it every 15 min or so. let more out and shorten close rods. Try to have your longer line rods pointed out the side. This will keep them from crossing in a turn. When you find a depth that works, quickly adjust other rods to that depth. What kind of boards do you have? I don't know how well an inline board handles a 40 jet. You might think of a deep diving crank from the boards. You should get 6-8 lines out at a time.
Good luck
I have these boards...http://www.churchtackle.com/walleye.html
Thanks for your help...I'll have to pick up some jets as all I have are dipsys right now
