Trolling speed for Browns?

[newmike]

What's a good trolling speed for Browns when trolling spoons This time of year

[whaler1]

Depends on the spoon. 1.8- 2.8

Don't be afraid of speed either - not every day but some days its key - what Whaler says above is a good range but some days they like it fast - 3.0 or even 3.2.

Thank you, both of you

Speed also depends on the lures of choice.  Some spoons troll better on the slower side and some troll better with a little more speed.

That is exactly it. It pays to test out the spoon or stick at the side of the boat and observe the action prior to deployment for an "estimate" of how it may be running at the desired speed. When running multiple lures of diverse types some may run optimally while others may not and it is another reason to keep changing speeds and making "s" turns etc.
