trolling depth for lures

[DennisW]

Sounds like you're repeating the effort put into the book. I try to determine the depth of the active fish and then put the lure right in front of their noses. I also like to search for fish by staggering baits at different depths. With two rods per person and a few guys in the boat, you can cut a wide and deep swath through the water to find the active fish. And once you know the depth the fish are striking at, then you can break out a variety of baits that track at the same depth to see if any of them trigger more bites.

It may not be as big an issue in dishpan waters like Willard, but it still holds true in Willard since fish suspend there in open water than relating to structure. I think Precision Trolling is vital to any troller's arsenal. The walleye pro's all call it the troller's bible.
