spring brown trolling with lead core

[big wwally]

Hey I'm going up in two weeks for the browns. Wondering if leadcore is a good way to go? If so, how many colors? and how much leader would you run off the lead?

id leave the leadcore at home. guys have been catching them in 10 foot or less water. I long line braid with a 25 foot 10 lb leader

I wouldnt bother with leadcore unless you are fishing over 20 fow. 25' leaders of flouro

Bring it if you got it.

The weekend before last we were smoking the Browns in 27 fow 10 and 15 down.

Was out for browns on the weekend with my dad. After a dry spell drifting the river we trolled around the river mouth and the bay looking for staging fish and fall backs. Ran one rod with 2 colors of core and hit my pb brown on a spoon just off the mouth. Had it set for lakers but was happy with the result all the same. There's always a lead rig on my boat.

We use a lot of one and two colors over here on Erie in the spring for 'bows and an occasional BT. Work real well with DW SS and WDs and an occasional "paint loser"

If fishing in less than 10 fow, just watch your turns, especially with a 2 color, make sure you are pulling them on the outside / fast side to keep them up a bit.
