    Browns aren't the easiest fish to find but some things seem to be more successful than others catching them. First of all on the Fingers they are often night feeders and inhabit the shallows then so getting on the water just before light is often the best option. The browns are usually located near drop  offs in 40- 80 ft of water at this time of the season and especially where the water temp is 58-60 degrees and usually near bottom They also seem more vulnerable to live or dead bait such as sawbellies or in a pinch shiners. Commercially prepared shad (sold in packages or jars at local tackle shops or places like Runnings or Walmart) can also work. You can use standard spinning rods with 8-10 lb test with an 8 lb fluoro leader about 24 to 32 inches long with a #8 double or treble hook at the end attached to the main mono line with a small swivel snap. above the swivel a weighted bobber is attached so that it can slip on the main line allowing the bait to cover depths. If windy it may require a lot of adjustments and re-casting. Trolling in shallow water 8- 25 ft in very early hours or using planers boards can also work. Trolling out beyond 80 ft or so is seldom the ticket to success.

    Thank you for exelent info if I will troll I should use small spoons or stick bait and north end or south end is better 

    Thanks
