Will be fishing with three other guys on Mille Lacs this weekend. Will certainly spend a good amount of time trolling.
Looking for suggestions for the four lines. My thoughts:

1. Spinnerbait (shortline)
2. Jake/Grandma
3. Believer (shallow)
4. Depth Raider

Ideas?

Good selection. I'd run the spinnerbait in the prop wake (don't forget it will sink if you stop and start up again)and then the believer behind that because you must run a shallow believer at a certain distance back of the boat so it doesn't keep breaking the surface and you can only gauge that at the speed you are trolling at, at the time. Jake on the shallow side and DR on the deep side. NO???

I would troll the breaklines on the North end and the flats.Big cranks.Plows(shallow setting) 10"Tuff Shads ,10" Jakes, 13" Grandmas.perch, walleye,shiner/cisco white.Stagger lines to cover different depths.You're fishing for 1 fish.A very big fish. Steve
