250 foot was good out of Wilson this past weekend. Went 12-13 on saturday. Biggest was 22 lbs, 11 kings and one steelies. 8-9 on Sunday biggest was 25 lbs. Mostly a spoon bite, NBK spoon was the best producer.
it's the HDS 5 gen 2 ive never done any software updates or anything so it's quite possible yours has the line, just be aware the line is roughly 1.5 ish miles or so West of the red can out there... Hate to have u keep trolling and looking for a line that's not there
We were working the same water as you Yankee... First time we passed each other I said to my buddy who's pretty new to fishing that if that Trojan says Yankee troller on the back we are working the right water... Can't say we did nearly as well as you though...
I've fished Nipissing and stayed at the shuswap camp. A great 4 days, but like has been stated, get the lay of the land a bit because u can lose a lower unit easily if you stray.
I don't know what the right answer is, but I do know trolling the last 2 years, we have still seen the huge bait clouds on the fish finder, but unlike years past there weren't any hooks hanging around the clouds. I find it hard to believe there is a significant lack of bait out there...
