Wish you would have posted this earlier!!!!! Spent all day in the south end and threw everything at them fished from 10 feet to 90 feet in 20 to 150 fow and got nothing. Had great weather though

When you guys fish stickbaits such as rapalas off planer boards do you use a diver or anything else with them

I know for a fact it does help!! Unless it has a split ring then you don't need to tye a Rapala knot. Next time you put one on. Try a rapala knot on one and a improved clinch on the other, you will see the difference. After tying the Rapala Knot it increased productivity by at least 30%. Caught a lot of big fish on Rapala on the lakes here in PA, including a 28.5" Rainbow weighing 8lb12oz

Thank you for the tips. I don't own any flies!! Looks like I'll be buying some at the tackle shop before I go out. I just though using flies wouldn't work, but I guess it's the most productive set up to use. so if I use a silver dodger and a orange flat fish with black dots, i'm probally wasting my time?? so many lures and only 2 poles per person. Good thing I got 3 days to try and land 1 fish

When I'm trolling with Rapalas and a diver or rigger do I need to have it tied on with a rapala knot, palmor knot or attached with a swivel? When using cowbells, how far back do I have my spoon or lure? What type minnows should I get shinners, pike minnows or saw bellies? Sorry for all the question just new and want to do some things right hope you guys and your knowledge can help
