This fall will be the first time after two previous fall seasons that I'll have my boat. (if I can get one of my kids to tow it over) In the past we've fished off the shore at various spots with moderate to good success. We normally toss blue foxes and holographic PM's with my 8 1/2 foot spinning rods for distance. I'm wondering what the better trolling methods are in such a shallow lake. I don't plan to take my downriggers obviously but would appreciate guidance on flatlining with various setups. I'm also bringing lead core on two of my level wind rigs. I have most of Bill's flies and most of the other "stuff". I'll stop by the Ashton fly shop as usual. Any thoughts from trollers?
We'll be in (probably) the only tent trailer there so stop by and say hello in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. Grilling one of those 20"+ cuts doesn't get any better. I only keep what we'll eat while there and release most. Hoping the boat will put me into some of those 5+ pounders I've seen at the cleaning station. If I get the boat over I'll be in a silver and black Alumacraft w/a 60hp Yamaha.[
