Canandaigua Trolling in Canandaigua - New

[Dan M]

Hey all , I have been wanting to start trolling a bit - tried going to Ontario this morning, but the water was a bit too rough for me at 100 FOW in my 16' Aluminum. Bummer, I wanted to try for salmon and trout.

I fish Conesus alot for bass/pike/tigers, but have never tried Canandaigua.

If I wanted to troll for trout, I assume I could use my size 1 dipsys?

What kind of gear are you using out there as far as rods and reels? Besides my spinning setups (3000s and 4000s) the only bait casters that I could be trolling with right now are my 13Fishing Concept C with 30# braid on a 7'3 MH (pike and bass )and 13Fishing A3 with 50# braid on a 8' St Croix musky rod (H) - would those 2 setups work for that lake trolling for now? Overkill? Underkill?

I wanted to see how I liked trolling before buying 2 setups just for trolling.

Thanks in advance for the info!
