New to trolling

[Old Wheezer]

Another tool to use is your marine radio. Usually there are a few people willing to share what is working for them. Channel 79 has alot of traffic.

lucky duck,dont get discouraged with lack of success.It took us years to get competent enough to troll successfully.Find out what works for you and add to that each season to become flexible during tough bites.Buying enough crankbaits is expensive.I have worked on getting a good assortment of bandits this season based on colors I heard caught over and over.But the stock colors are $8 and custom around$12.If you deciced to fish harness,make sure leader at 6ft fluorocarbon.Put swivel on it so don't twist.Want #5 Colorado blades and some double willow antifreeze color.Make sure you can troll down to 1.5mph for early season.Can go up to 2.3mph when water warms up.Good luck.
