How far behind the boat do you run your rig when trolling for trout and kokanee with a downrigger and how much drop below the ball do you figure for your rig for a 1mph. troll.
Depending on how deep you are fishing the need to get the lure(s) behind the boat/wake/trolling motor is one reason I would clip them back that far or farther.olygreen said:i am trying to figure out why u would even put 20 pr 30 ft of line between the ball and lure??? are u fishing lake cushman where u have 50 ft of water vis??? i would assume not and would also assume most lakes in west wa dont have more then 10 ft so putting 20-50ft of line behind the ball would see useless
Try fishing for Cutthroat like that. You'll wonder why you keep marking fish but can't get any to bite. Some fish you can get away with it that close to the ball, some you can't.olygreen said:i am trying to figure out why u would even put 20 pr 30 ft of line between the ball and lure??? are u fishing lake cushman where u have 50 ft of water vis??? i would assume not and would also assume most lakes in west wa dont have more then 10 ft so putting 20-50ft of line behind the ball would see useless
