jig bite was great. could use advice on trolling

Thanks Jim. I will give you a ring before this weekend.

I have a 50hp merc. Does that constitute as a kicker or would i have to go smaller? Would my minn kota get me up to the correct speed? I need to buy planing boards, counter reels, and where would i find a trolling bible?

I need to run inline sinkers with the rr's and ddhj's? Thats new to me....i assumed they dove to the correct depth depending on how much line you let out.

Your 50 hp will get down plenty slow enough. At idle you'll be below 1mph. The baits will dive plenty deep on their own with long enough lines. Some of the other threads on here are mentioning the baits and length of line they're doing well on. Don't make it too complicated. Capt. Jim will give you all you need to know. I fished with him last year and I was amazed at how helpful he was with all my questions.
