Mike, you seem to be running your set a lot faster than others, more like spoon or body bait speeds. Obviously it's working for you. How did you come to using these faster trolling speeds, when I see everyone else talking about 1.2 to 1.8 type speeds when running harnesses?

I run my harnesses off my lite bite slide divers. then if I have 4 people in the boat I run 2 outriggers with the little dipsy. I run the little dipsy with 15# braid and run it out 250' to 300' behind the boat. sometimes the little dipsy is hot and sometimes if the fish are really deep I don't do so good. I fish the central basin of erie. I run about 1.8 to 2.0 mph on my gps.

speeds
every trip is different, we usually start at 2.0 then move up or down to see what working for the day, same with color of blades, bead colors, and leads off divers to harness, then when it works stay with it till it quits.

So how are you changing your leads to the harness? I must admit here, that I have been fishing Erie for 30 or so years and during that time I have steadfastly stuck to artificials and had done very well, until recently. It seems for the past 2-3 years it is sometimes difficult to limit out unless you put some meat out there. I'm taking some serious ribbing from my buddies, but I am not too ashamed to change if it will put fish in the boat. So despite having much experience with spoons and body baits, I am a relative novice in dragging harnesses, hence all the questions. I really appreciate all the tips and techniques given on this site BTW.

harness
Best advice I can tell you without going to alot of expense, make minor changes to your program, shortern or lenghtent leads from jets to harness when fish are not biting, change blade sizes, change bead colors, bump up or lower your speed, try to find different blade colors that are not been used on this side of lake, its easier for us because we have 12 or more rods in the water at a time plus hundreds of different harness on board and we switch often, everyone has different ways of hooking thier crawlers sometimes this makes a big differents. if your good with spoons you shouldn't have much trouble, try spoon harness combo.
