An “Over”

Holst and I were pulling lead off of 7 mile Thursday night, scouting for some future filming, and got into some pretty good fish. A few spots yielded nothing, but we ended up finding some fish suspended in 28-30FOW that cooperated. 7 fish in 45 minutes that night, and dozens the next day, almost entirely on a bait which is somewhat new to us. For those of you trolling right now or to be headed up soon, a TTM – Trolls-To-Minnow 15 in Silver Blue outproduced EVERYTHING at least 3 to 1. Holst saw some in a Fleet Farm clearance bin and lucky for us, he never buys less than two of the same bait/same color. It outproduced Thundersticks, Taildancers, and all the other usual suspects in every hue of the lure-color rainbow.

This fish was 28.5″, and several others in that pod were 26″ or better. Good luck out there!!!

Great fish Joel!

nice , only a couple more days.

Woah! Nice going there guys….
What the heck is it about that darn blue/silver? I used to use the blue/silver Raps, even jointed….I might have to dig them up.(buried in the garage somewhere)

Nice Job Guys !!!

I was just in Rochester on Friday and picked up a couple of them at Fleet Farm as they looked similar to the baits we were pulling the week prior !!

Love that store !!

That is what the majority of fish came on for me yesterday as well, but in the shad style. If I went to the larger trolls to 20′ I got nothing. I fished during the day, and the bite for me has slowed way down compared to weeks past, but there were still non slot fish to be had. The smallest yestersday was 21″ largest 28″. Another big bug hatch last night too.

hi Joel,
Great looking lure and color. Great walleye too,
What do you get for a depth for just the 30ft leader length when trolling?
thank-you

Jack:

Hard to say, but less than a TD-11. This was a completely new bait for us, and to be honest, we simply experimented to dial in the proper depths.
