Ok, I'm 95% a fly guy so don't troll gear often, but I'm taking my 75 yr old mother out in the boat on Mayfield Saturday. She loves to fish and lives just minutes from the lake.
I have 3 rods all setup and ready to troll.
1st rod has a 4.5" silver dodger with the iridescent sticker on it trailed by a one of those bent metal lures that looks almost like a brook trout fingerling. It's called a Lil Minnow. 3oz weight so that'll be the deep rig.
2nd rod also has a 4.5" dodger with a different flashy sticker trailed by a black wooly bugger. I'll probably put 1oz on that one. Probably tip the bugger with a worm or shrimp. Maybe corn. I can't imagine not getting some action on that rig. It's the one I'll give her first.
3rd rod is really light and will probably have 1oz weight and a red wedding ring rig with a worm. It might be the one to out fish the dodger and bugger setup. We'll see.
Trolling battery is charged and can go all day. Any tips?
Thanks!
