I do not have a speed and temp probe and I'm looking at some pointers for trolling speed without one. It's not in the cards to go out and purchase one. I was out Saturday and was struggling to catch fish.
I would imagine that the current is typically moving from west to east as I noticed I was moving considerably faster when traveling in this direction. Should I crank up the trolling speed when moving with the current? I was basically trying to stay between 2.3 and 2.7 and asked another angler and he was going 3.7 when traveling east to get 2.7 at the ball.
Also, any general speed for trolling west into the current? Will down speed be close to SOG?
Thanks for the info.
