Re: Favorite trolling spoons
just so you know while fishing the central basin out of Geneva Ohio when we fisf harnesses we start at the 1.8 to 2.0 speed. but have fished down to 1.6 or 2.2 to get fish. when running small spoons I like to run 2.5 but when using larger spoons we've had better luck around 2.7 to 3.2. this is fishing the last part of July. A 0.2 difference in speed can make a huge difference in your catch rate. always pay attention when turning the boat to see if you catch fish on one side over the other. if the fish hits on the outside of your turn you might want to try going a little faster when trolling straight, and if you get fish on the inside of the turn you might need to slow your troll down.
many experienced fishermen every so often will start trolling in an S pattern just to see if they start getting more hits on one side over the other letting them know if they should adjust the speed up or down.
