Downrigger Help
#11
i troll a bit slower than jed, but speed is always changing. its amazing even on the same day how much small increments can make a difference. sometimes i'll be catching them at 1.5mph GPS and then it will shut off. then, i'll speed it up to 1.7 or so, and bang its back on. and vice versa. vary your speeds to find what works best for you. also, keep an eye on the board here as many of us will be hitting it hard, and are glad to let you know whats been working for us.

ive found that deciding a speed also depends on the lure youre using. make sure you are getting the right action on the lure by holding it over the side of the boat where you can see it working. it doesnt do you any good to be going the exact speed that all the "experts" say you should be going if your lure isnt working right!
