Drifting

[jonk]

If you're drifting and there is a good breeze, try using a dipsy diver instead of a bottom bouncer... I know at least for me, a 15-20 mph wind gets the boat moving at about 1.3-5 mph, and the diver does it's thing beautifully.

Ill give that a try, Ive never used them but willing to give it all a try.

and with that comes great bottom bouncing fishing with meat and harnesses and don't forget a couple of inlines , tadpoles or dippsies to get those suspended fish.Copper and gold backed blades usually does the trick. Good luck.

Thank you all for the tips... I made some weapons, dipsys are on their way and Im going to try some trolling as well. 1 more stupid question, when I have a fish on do I maintain the trolling speed or shift into neutral ?

If you shift into neutral, all your other rods/weighted baits will stop and sink. If you have a wall hanger on, it is your choice.
