    Default Lure depth question


    Probably a question without a specific answer but here goes. How do you determine the depth of your bait when trolling. If I am pulling jigs behind me is there a way to know how deep the jig is? Asking for a friend (lol)

    If you Google how do you determine trolling depth. You will find all kinds of information. A lot of the data is geared towards walleye. But it still applies to crappie
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    Do a search within cdc. I found this thread. Probably many more.

    if your talking about longlining jigs, i say trial and error is your very best teacher, lot of variables go into play, get on a flat and play with speed and wieght

    There is an old underwater railroad track on Jordan lake and we found a section ten feet deep. We spent a couple of hours going back and forth over the RR bed writing down different speeds and different jig combinations. Our favorite combination was a two jig rig with a 1/16 and a 1/32 pulled at .8. We would keep going over the RR until the rod tips started bouncing and we knew we had hit the bottom. Write that down and then try another combination. Takes some time, but you develop patterns and confidence you are fishing the right depth.

    Brad Chappell with the crappie connection is known for his long lining success. This is his guideline.

    What size and type line is Chappell using and how much does he have out? That makes a big difference I’d think.

    It’s been a while since I watched the video so I can’t remember but on YouTube type in “Brad Chappell grizzly jig seminar” and it will pop up.
