use sounder to locate fishschools [usualy BASS] this time of year this weather try looking in open water 25-40 feet deep when you find them try dropping sliders through the school works a treat . fishing in fresh water things appear a little different on your sounder so play around with it a little as for trolling as slow as it takes to make your lures work try something around 80mm with large clear bibs also as of wedensday darker colours seem to be the go DONT FORGET THE SUNBLOCK AND HAT
