For me depends on the lure type. Jerkbaits slower, Tasmanian devils faster, they need it to get right action. But sounds like i need to slow down, a bit over all!
this was a very informative video, thank you for putting it out there. I'm brand new to big water and trolling. Just picked up a set of downriggers on the weekend. going to install them and start trying Lake Ontario Salmon and lakers.
Your video is one of the best out there. I have fished Lake Ontario for 5 yrs but not for the last 3yrs and now this July were going to Lake Michigan so it's a new program. Thanks again for taking time
One other trick I've learned is to watch your lines and see if they favor one side or the other. It's a tell tale of the direction the current is going. If all your lines favor the right side than the current is going left to right.
Another great tip video! My question is what depth would you set your riggers at for example 100' deep and how far behind the ball would you recommend for a spoon and or flasher fly?
@@FoxFishing4K Hi Kevin, When I use J plugs and the like with the provided double treble hook harnesses, they are the devil to unsnarl from the net if I'm not careful. I notice on the west coast many areas require single hooks or even barbless single hooks on J plugs and the like. I've heard some people take off one of the trebles from the provided hook harness to avoid net troubles. I was curious if, and how, you modify your plug hook harnesses. Thanks

Thanks Kevin for sharing! All your knowledge has helped me put fish on the boat! Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers buddy! Now you are helping me out with info :)
Definitely one of the best videos and explanations for speed and lures.
Great video Kevin they keep getting better and better!!!!
Thabks buddy!

Glad it was helpful!
Hey Kevin. Can you do a video on leadcore and copper setups you run.
Sure can!
@@FoxFishing4K I would be definitely interested in that!
2nd year trolling lake michigan was taught 2.7 to 3. I'm definitely going to try slowing it down and see what happens
Those speeds are good for flasher Flys. Meat and spoons that too fast. Your definetly passing some watchable fish going to quick.

I go by rod and rigger wire angle. 45 degrees can be 1.2mph to 4.5 mph depending on current.
If it works for you dont change it! This is for people starting out or who dont have a clue about speed!
Great vid, learned a lot. All the best from Australia.
Thanks Grant! Appreciate the kind words!
2.3 is my go to speed but i never thought of the underwater speed compared to surface speed 🤘🏼. we have a fish hawk at work i think i might get now
Get a fish hawk! They tell you so much!!

Good point thanks for sharing. I never thought of that before!!
Excellent information

I fish lake ontario for chinnys a lot. Using northern kings spoons if I am not at 2.8 to 2.9 mph not getting bite. Lots of times have to go to 3.0 mph
depends on the size and weight of the spoon. bigger spoons and heavier need speed for action.
Excellent video, full of great info. Thanks!
Thanks Scott for the wonderful comment. Comments like this make making these videos worth it :)
I'm a newbie and really appreciate this info. thanks
Cheers my friend!
What about cannon positive ion control and settings ? Any videos on that ? Thanks
I don't have any Canon videos but I will do some.
Awesome
I concur with the suggested speed. I try to run 2-2.5 and get plenty of bites on all baits.
Hi Kevin, Do you use the provided hooks/harnesses on your plugs or do you modify your plug hook harnesses? Thanks
What do you mean?
