Approximately what depth of water should we be fishing in, and what depth to set the baits? (probably various depths due to where strikes are at and where the sonar shows them...) Again, I'm a jig fisherman but want to try some trolling this year. I'm going to be up there fishing friday-monday out of fenwick. Since you have all been helpful up to this point w/ the trolling, I'll tell you that we knocked the socks off of the walleye last year at this time with heddon sonar lures. Just popped them off the bottom. No live bait required! Thanks
Down deep husky jerks and jointed shad rap #7 are my favorite. If you use 14-17# braid and a fairly stoudt rod, use can troll them down to 22-24 ft deep just flat lining but you must go easy on the drag as there is no give in the line. The colder the water, the slower the troll.
