Spoke to a friend of mine about trolling, he said that during the day/evening when he goes out he catches fish one in four times. He said that almost every time when he goes out in the morning he comes back with a fish. As soon as i comeback from vacation on saturday i will be in Port Credit at 5 am

We left around 5:30 pm and got back around 930pm when it was dark. Saw some fish on the fishfinder but not too many, there seemed to be more closer to port

SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS
====================
First time ever caught a fish trolling!!!! Lake was very calm and wind was minimal. We tried a bunch of different spoons.
Im on the driveway, my father is in the boat photo. Can't wait to go out again!!!!
Well, we caught nothing, by 730, when we were dropping the boat into the water another boat was being pulled out. They had two salmons. Two other boats were leaving because they said it was too choppy and windy.
We trolled untill noon. I changed spoons three times, third time i added a flasher, but i put it right at the ball, not knowing where it goes. Sooner after i found out that my gps was showing speed in nautical miles;) and we did about 3.5 throughout the whole time. Right after i changed it to about 1.5m my weight (8lb) showed up on the screen. )))
Yeahh, i learned a lot today
Oh and i noticed that my spoons were like 60-70% of the size of the spoons that a gentelman who caught few fish used. Heh, any more tips;)?
What is a spin doctor?

Guys, thanks all for great advice. The only thing i am unclear off is spoons/lures etc...
I bought some spoons based on advice given to me by a gentelman at Le Baron.
Well, i guess we will find out tommorow as im going out in the morning around 7am. Will keep you posted

Hi to all, My name is Daniel and i have recently acquired a fishing boat. It's a Crestliner Kodiak 167 with a 50HP outtie.
I have recently purchased a downrigger made by Cannon (didn't have time to put it on yet) and would like to get into trolling. I live in Mississauga so am close to Port Credit.
I have sailing experience so i know my ways in water, not affraid of choppy stuff is trolling possible in choppy stuff?
How and where to find fish? What to do with a downrigger when a fish is on? reel it in? hold the rod at the same time?
When is best time to go out for trolling?
Can i use my 50HP Mercury ELPTO 2 stroke for trolling?
and the most importand question..... is my boat OK for trolling on Lake Ontario?
here is few pics
