My FIL and I are new to trolling, we have been to sodus a few times on charters, but he bought a boat and we are getting into it on our own. We have been fishing Seneca a few times because it is closer to home, but have been skunked. yesterday we fished most of the day and marked a lot of fish on the fish finder, they seemed to be anywhere from 10 to 70 feet of water with a few being deeper. We set the downriggers, using spoons, at depths of 30 and 50ft and tried to be right around 2 mph trolling speed, the radio was blowing up all morning with reports of guys catching fish. We are starting to get a little frustrated, but will continue to try. We need some help, looking forward to your tips and help,
Beginner, lots of help needed
