Trolling Dunnville is it still being done

[skinny]

Ok so years ago I fished dunnville a bit  (Bass) but I remember seeing people trolling

I no longer have a large boat to hit lake but I have my gear and a 14’ boat thinking of rigging it up or is lead fine maybe only deer divers are needed 

 

any help or suggestions

Bottom bouncer selection between 1 and 2 ounces and some worm harnesses should get you down and get you fishing at dunnville if it’s pickerel your after.

I do have all my down rigging equipment 

riggers 

lead core 

long line rods 

 

is that stuff usable or go get btm bounce stuff

Lots of walleye in the lake off the grand  in 2nd half of the summer.  

 

Pick your days it can get nasty.

If you want to fish just the river, just stick with the bottom bouncers.  You can put them off planer boards if that floats your boat!

Trolling the river try using shallow crankbaits or firetiger rapalas.  Being as muddy as it is you need to make noise and stir up mud.   Might just hit a snag or two though.

Good luck.

are people using reg rods or more back bone and rigging type rods

Regular 7 ft trolling with 10 mono and a 4 ft fluorocarbon leader is what I used there.  I used mono so f I hit a snag the hook wouldn't bury itself right away. There is a lot of wood in there.

Good luck.

I went a few times last season. Worm harnesses and smaller stick baits worked. The public launch was a disaster though.
