| Normally in the fall I have continued to cast and add a sucker to drag along. This year, I have decided to do some trolling. I have trolled in the past but normally in warmer months. Wondering what folks have found to work trolling as the air and water cools. Any help would be appreciated. |

| I usually will slow my speed down to about 3 to 3.3 mph and usually troll bigger stuff this time of year. I like the Supernatural baits and still always have a big gramma or Jake in the spread. Depending on how many lines your allowed to troll keep mixing things up and trying different depths. I will include bucktails if I think fish are still using the weeds. |

| If I was by myself with one line I would swing for the fence then and troll a supernatural. If you don't have one of those, a 10 inch Jake or Depth Raider has caught a lot of Wisconsin Muskies over the years. |

Well, I do have a Headlock I got in an auction on here to support a veteran's event. Might be time to give that a little longer try. It is in perch color and that is a big part of forage base on the chain where I live. |

| I also like the Supernaturals this time of year, but have had good luck with Shallow Invaders, as well. As mentioned, throttle down to the low 3s. I like a trolling path that zig zags, as well. If it's a straight troll, give the rod a single pump about every 50 feet or so. If you have the rod in a holder, give a pull on the line in front of the reel every 50 feet or so. |
