Default Re: Need some advice on jigging lakers in rvr

What I do is setup for the troll and keep ur eyes on the sonar. when u see good bottom marks make a waypoint on the plotter and as the day goes and it slows go back and jig those marks. I am a big binsky fan but crippled herring in 1oz size work great as do large tubes w heavy jig heads. I also like shiners on 1oz jigheads but you gotta get the right jig heads for that setup. Best way to troll is w the 9.9 AND the electric so u can keep the boat going in the right direction on hookups, an ipilot on a minnkota is the most valuable piece of equipment I own, cant fish without it.

I fished saturday morn and they were killing jointed F7 in rainbow trout pattern 150 ft back, also did good 10' off bottom with mini cowbells and small spoon for a pair of lakers. Most fish marked were 10-15 ft down, invest in a set or two of planer boards you can easily fish 6 lines, with downriggers stacked I can run 10 without issues
