Love the videos. What are your preferred rod and line setups for downrigger and toplining(if you do that)? I mostly fish Fishlake but trying to get set up with the right gear.. thanks!
Always enjoy your videos. My phat smelly question is this...How do you decide from day to day what area to fish ? Is it intel from others ? Or, do ya put together a ' Milk' and keep moving til you find cooperative fish? Stay safe !
Colton, can you give some pros/cons to rigging the lake trolls directly to the DR weight vs all gear on the rod? Seems like it would be easier to fight the fish w/o the troll gear on the rod…
If you hook the lake trolls to your rigger you have to run a stacker clip a couple feet above your lake trolls and you run the risk of tangling your lake trolls with your tube on the way down. If you put the release clip on the back of the lake trolls you have to leave slack in your line, because if you put tension on it the lake trolls will be on an angle and won't spin properly. You can always call me and I can give more details.
@coreymuir1113 the closer you can get it the the lake trolls the better you would be. 2 things you need to consider 1) tangling on the way down. 2) the tube jig trolls exactly straight when ran without lake trolls. The lake trolls give the tube a rolling/darting action.
Great video Colton. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video! Thanks for the info at the end. I’d pay to get a day up there with that kind of weather. The wind didn’t stop our last trip.
Awesome video!

I run the Eagle Claw Starfire. 30-40 pound mono.
You mention to keep the Lake Trolls 1 to 3 feet from the release. Is that the correct number or should be 10 to 30 feet?
Keep them less than 3 ft from the downrigger release.

I do have a few people that tell me where or where not to try, but I have my favorite 5 areas and new areas I look at all the time.
I’ll be out there on a boat next week out of Lucerne, any suggestions to get the in laws into some lakers? Even pups would be great.
There are a lot of pups near Anvil Draw, Kingfisher Island, and the red cliffs.
@@LakeShoreTackle08 thank you!🙏

I would like to know also. How far above would you put your line on a stacker?

Lies when she said the fish got off lol
I really like watching these videos keeps my hopes up that I can figure out how to catch a big one. How deep are you trolling?
We are trolling 30-100ft. With most being found in the 50-90ft range.
What pound test mono do you run to troll the laketrools
30-40 pound on my rod and 30 pound on the tube jigs.
Is this on flaming gorge
Yes.
