new to trolling please help
in Ontario, CA Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (North Shore)

Best thing to do is YouTube bill saiff, or Great Lakes salmon trolling. Unbelievable amount of videos with great info. I’ve been trolling for about 3 years now, started doing salmon out of Ontario last year and was hooked. I’ve been running cabelas depth masters combos for those season and they’ve been fine up until now. I’ll continue to use them for walleye though. My boat setup will have wire roller dipsy rods for those big kings, 30-40lb test mono for the down riggers and either a copper (little trickier bc it twirls and kinks, you’ll need a 600 series reel for copper) or lead core. I currently run braid on my rods and it’s done fine, but the fleas in Ontario crush it. Personally I’d buy Shimano talora Tekota combos for everything if you can. Buy it once and you’ll never have to again. If money is a concern, buy the best you can with the setups above. Lines cheap.
As for rod holders, tube style is nice for dipsys. As well it keeps the rods outside of your boat if it’s a little narrow like my center console is. I’m making some rod trees, if your interested DM me and I can tell you more.
