You can get fish anywhere at night , raise your baits up high , p10s 20,30,40 back work well , I fish the top 10 fow , we did well out in deeper water as every body was trolling the shore line , p10s chrome & blue 30 back is my hottest bait .

What speed do you usually troll at night?

Ever use bandits or should I get some p10s???

I went out of Huron last year around June 1st and caught was catching them on reef runners at about 9:00 P.M. Was trolling about 1.7mph in about 20 fow west of Huron Pier.

You can use any baits , just shorten your leads , keep your baits high in the water,as far as speed 1.5 to 2.0 , the fish rise to feed chasing the bait , I've done good we're ever we caught fish during the day

This weekend is probably the worst weekend of the year to be on the lake in the dark. There will be many hundreds of boaters using their boat for the first time of the year, and many that will be launching for the first time ever. Lots of boats running to and from the islands to consume mass quantities of adult beverages. Many would not be able to tell a boat by the navigation lights, let alone figuring out what lighted boards are.

Yea wasn't going out this weekend for sure Bankangler!!! You got that right!!!! Was going to wait for better weather and the lake to clean up. Thanks for the tips oh!!! Had long leads last year. so that was a problem and was trolling close to the shore line. LET me know if you think of anything else. Thanks alot. Wally😁

With bandits I would run them 10, 20, 30 behind boards at 1.5

Yep 20 would be 7ft down. 30 would be 9ft. 40 would be 11ft
