    I’ll defer to copper on that one he is the jigging talent in the room ... trolling I go for the fish with no bait... less competition... so I use the Lowrance with fish reveal (that I bought from copper aka mike lol cause he didn’t like it more than his old system ) I can detect fish easily sitting on the bottom or suspended in the column... but on your unit use max mode on your sonar and pay attention to the live bar to the right you should clearly see your jig and the live bar should show you fish coming for the lure don’t try to use downscan I don’t think it will help you .. google your unit and jigging to find some videos

    This little guy deserves some serious credit. I take a lot of people fishing I have grown men complain about reeling in 6-10 pound fish on a dipsy out 250, this little guy not only boated 4 fish on the same dipsy out 250 and didnt lose a one...AND even helped me clear the lines when we were done for the day, mom pitched in for a double as well while grandpa coached ... If I had a trophy to hand out it would have gone to him hands down....IMG_1959.JPGIMG_1958.JPGIMG_1960.JPGIMG_1961.JPG

    Follow johns advice he’s a jigging master 

    1 oz is too light 1 and 3/4 at least If you don’t have a gps stabilized trolling set up and good electronics and knowledge of lake could be challenge ... 80 foot is a good depth to start launch Meyers go north east side north of power plant  in that area is generally good I’ve seen John there lately also north on other side of lake near kidders ... fish will be moving deeper as temps rise in water...we have been getting lots of fish 50-90 ft down some were in 40-50s though I suspect that will go away as thermocline develops .  Your issue will be holding position if you don’t have a gps stabilized trolling motor as wind on the lake is usually present in am dies off mid morning and picks up again afternoon 

     

    if all else fails pm me I’ll be on charter that afternoon and I do plan to hit the area there or marine radio boat name is Avalon

     

    the fishing has been hot and don’t be afraid to do mid morning when wind typically settles

     

    the jigging thing is a real touch game speed and manner of retrieve is nothing like Bass... 

     

    If you don’t succeed and you want to hop a charter let me know

    General BS Topic - Dual, Center Console or Walk around boat for trolling

    I own a 30 foot proline full walk around full cabin twin outboard 250's, she is set up with traxstech trolling bars nothing mounted in the gunwales, uses only the mounted existing rod holders.  She has a full head, kitchen, v berth and a mid cabin berth, lots of storage and huge open back deck with nearly an 11 foot beam.  Hard top as well, can troll dual rods each down rigger, four dipsys and three on each side planner boards for a comfortable 14 rods at once 15 if you throw one down the chute...  The walk around gives you the capability to change off to jigging or live bait fishing if you desire.  The bow has a cushioned seat and is deep enough to allow people to ride there.  I studied for a couple years before I selected this model.   It has a massive live well, and fish box in the hull.  For my needs it suits, but I don't spend time sleeping on it much yet.  It greatly depends on what you plan to use it for mostly, there are always trade offs fishing vs cruising.  This one has 300 gallons of fuel and a ridiculous cruising range on it.  You can see pics on my website...
