Two procedures u might learn to simplify & refine UR trolling techniques .
One define the depth UR actually trolling very important in warm weather months can vary now due to LK possibly I'm middle of turnover.
If UR working off UR depth finder than take some time to troll UR lures over different water depths !
If UR trolling LC rule of thumb 4' of depth per color 1mph to 1.4 mph!
To confirm simply pick a point that drops at intervals & confirm troop dept. when u bump bottom then u'll have idea how deep UR lure will be at that speed, with specific colors deployed !
Some lures will respond differently to depth , speed scenario but most will not be far off. Once establish each lure using this method u will always know UR depth at that speed.
Always let lures dictate speed !!!
