[black]IMO the most effective trolling method at Henry’s is going to be one that doesn't take long to put out a line or take it in. I usually troll deep enough or in areas the require me to take weeds off my line every 5 or 10 minutes. IMO a high speed bait casting reel with slightly heavier line is best. If you’re trolling with 8lb line or a rod that can’t handle dragging a pile of weeds you will have to stop the boat every time you get weeds on. To stiff of a rod can be bad because many of the fish will end up falling off. Being able to cast your trolling line back out instead of slowly feeding it out will also increase the amount of time your lure is being effectively trolled. The later in the fall you go the fewer weeds you will have to deal with.[/black]

[black]I’ve done well with larger than average spinners at Henry’s. Blue Fox, Mepps and Panther Martin all make good spinners. I also like to troll crankbaits at Henry’s. Pop gear, ford fenders, etc, can be good but I don't really like to fish with them as much. Orange is usually a good color to use at Henry's in the fall.[/black]

[black]If you have other questions feel free to ask here or I could also PM you my cell number. I bet there will be others who can give you some great tips.[/black]

[black]Hope the weather is nice while your there. Good luck.[/black]
