5/31 ONEIDA

Was pretty nasty this morning and we didn't feel like getting soaked and bounced around on the ride to Shackelton so we set up near the launch and trolled east towards Lakeport.  Caught three keepers on the first long pass in 35 fow.  Fished some waypoints that were good last year in front of Lakeport and came up empty.  Never really found a lot of marks and maybe the cold front had them shut off a bit.  Fish were between 17 and 21.5" and came on Reefrunners on the inlines and one on F9 perch Rapala on a rigger.

Horrible at trolling stickbaits unless it's in 10' of water. Still learning the tricks to it. What are you using to get them down while deeper? Tried a few times last year with no success.

From my experience, at 2.0 to 2.3 mph, a small reef runner out 75', clip on a 2 oz. snap weight and let it out another 75' will get you down in the 25 to 30 foot range, depending on if you are running braid or mono.  You can play around with different weight snap weights and troll until you hit bottom to fine tune your presentation/depths.  Leadcore can get you down also.

We use lead, or riggers.

Bigger divers and no weight will get down to bottom almost anywhere. You won't get as many fish on the big reefs and raps, but you get better fish. Deep divers with braid and riggers allows a much faster troll too! In summer I've caught some nice fish there as fast 3.5.
