  1. Hello everyone!  I'm located on Owasco, and I've mostly just fished around the coves and points for bass/perch, but after catching a few big lake trout on a charter last year decided to give trolling a try.  It turns out I'm extremely bad at it, and I realize I have no idea what I'm doing.  Could anyone offer some basic tips for an absolute trolling noob?  Here is what I'm usually trying, I've caught 2 or 3 small rainbows but am mostly just driving up and down the lake for a few hours at a time with no luck, then head to one of the coves to catch a few consolation rock bass.

     

    1. Mostly staying around 60-120 ft of water, looking for baitfish on the finder, usually running North to South or South to North
    2. Generally keeping the balls at around 40-80, depending on what I'm seeing above
    3. Trying different spoons and spinners, usually 30-40 ft behind the ball, with a 10-20' 10lb mono leader
    4. Usually running 1.5-2 mph

     

    I'd greatly appreciate any advice that anyone could offer, especially if you're familiar with Owasco.  Thanks!
