Hello everyone,
I am headed out to Balsam Lake this weekend and wanted to try different lures/techniques.
I have an open question on trolling - I know it's basically casting your line out and driving your boat back and forth but how do ensure your lure reaches depths of 10, 20 or 30 feet? Whenever I have tried it in the past, I notice the speed of the boat will cause the lure to rise up in the water. Is it a weight thing e.g. using heavier lures? Or do you need a swivel where you connect a sinker on the bottom segment and lure on the other part? Any tips for a trolling newbie?
My second question is top water lures e.g. frogs -what are good times of day to use them? I am guessing either early or late day in areas around lily pads.
Thanks a bunch!
