So we run two pink ladys, a small and large one, the small gets down to 40 and the large 60 of course give or take based on the boats speed and amount of line out. I like to try to keep the boat at 2mph for trolling speed and zig zag over bait balls and fish marks.
We run two rods a 7 medium action with 20lbs braid for the small pink lady and a 7 medium hard action with 50lbs braid for the larger pink lady.
Attached to the pink lady is a willow leaf or series of spoons to give a little flash imitating bait and then behind that is the apex trolling lures 2.5 to 5 in the colours shown in the picture....now these come in different widths giving a slower action on the wider ones and a faster action on the slender ones.
We will run different presentations until one rod starts getting hit more then we go to the same presentation and then just enjoy the rest of the day.....usually with many double headers.....funny I used this same set up on the west coast for salmon and it was dynamite there too.
Ohh like to add that even in 200 FOW the fish will dart up and hit the lures too but sometimes they take a run a the little spoons....as soon as we are on the motor is put in neutral and we bring both lines immediately in to ensure no tangles happen...many time the other person reeling in hooks up too resulting in a double header
