| For 1 cover more water and use different baits at one time. Cover different zones of the water column to find active fish.

| For Muskies I troll anywhere from2 to about 7 mph.
7 is about as fast as you can go without the boat trying to plane. |

| 7mph? Your lures don't blow out of the water? |

Some can take that speed.
Depth Raiders, Ernies, and similar.
First time I tried fast trolling was ~30 years ago with baby depth raiders, caught mostly walleyes.
I don't troll that fast too often. Usually 3-5mph.
If you are getting shot hits, try going faster. |

How fast do you troll? I might need to upgrade my kicker
