I have noticed there is a small group of guys on this site that are die hard Lakers fishermen like I am .
I've been fishing this lake for over 20 years and its different every season.
Every time I go out ,I experiment . Boat speed and how far the hook is behind ball etc.
One of the reasons I do this is ,because you can see the lakers come up in the sonar then back down with out hitting the bait. As they go after the ball !
I can see the laker in the sonar and only my ball ,as the bait is to far back behind the boat to see in the sonar. Is my bait way to far behind the ball ?

I normally run 3 - 3.5 MPH and let around 30 ft of line out when running down 70-100 feet

Some days I will use a small flasher but mostly not . The two down riggers normally haul in 20 lakers by noon.


Half way into french bay there are tons of lakers. I can catch them in the mouth of the bay or near the ski hill, but in the middle ,they just come up then back down.
I know the lake well all 5 humps and all the way around the lake .
I have not fished any of the deep holes yet at 300 ft down.

How are you guys running your rigs ?
