I only tried it once for Lake Trout down 100 feet........... was a frustrating experience (no depth finder at the time - just charts). I kept dragging the ball.

I found that in the canoe - I just didn't have enough arms to effectively take care of paddling, fishing and a downrigger.

I know you have a good sonar so it may be easier for you......

.......... check your PM's in while..............

Thanks OT, I'll get back to you on that soon... just been busy with work stuff.

Another question: When/what part of a lake would trolling 20 feet down for smallies be effective?
