can i drift in the current fast enough?

[ebijack]

Like mentioned, trolling bags do work. But you could also drift with the wind. Use bouncers/harnesses and cast "the weapon" while drifting. Lots of charters do exactly that and never troll. The weapon is about a 16in harness with a egg sinker slipped on at the top off the harness. You just tye a small bead into the top loop of the harness allowing enough room/size of loop for the sinker. The bead keeps the sinker from sliding down the harness. Also trolling spoons will start firing up soon. And those you troll from 2 to 3 mph depending on the day.

We have tried to drift troll, needless to say it don't work the same as motor trollin because you don't get a constant pull to keep your cranks down where they need to be . When the wave pushes you you get a fast pull then when you are in the trough of the wave you lose your pull and the crank rises back up. But when you get a good 2-4 waves day these guys are right drop a worm harness with a bottom bouncer and let the boat do all the work. Now when that bottom bouncer gets the inconsistent pulls of the waves and the boat that quick change of direction drives them walleye crazy and when your rod bends clear over the boat it's not a snag you got yourself a walleye!! Good luck hope this helps

I run 2 45" bags off the Sides of my 27 sportcraft gets me down to 1.3 to 1.5 works out very well. Hope this helps.

the weapon? is that the get-up with the single hook with beads and a spinner? so a nightcrawler harness with a egg sinker around the loop? will give it a try. thanks for all your help. i figure....2......3 years i should be able to stop asking questions lol thanks fellas

The only way to learn is ask questions and that's wat this site is for other than bragging board lol. Just don't forget everyone was there once and the guys on here fish most the week ends and some even make a living doin it so they kno wat they are talkin about and as long as they are willing to answer your questions pick their brains and learn as much as you can. It will make your time on the water that much better. Happy fishing
