0:53 spoken from the heart of a true fisherman…..”It’s gonna be a GREAT day!”❤

[@megacase]

Headed up there next weekend. Newbie fisher in a kayak. I’ll be lucky to catch a single fish. Thanks for a great vid.

[@ReelAmbassadeur]

Very cool, i lead line for browns from my row boat in ny reservoirs..sutton spoons mostly, i do ok.... lotta work rowing around. time to get the motor boat in and give that a try.

[@hootervillehoneybees8664]

Back before we got the 360 flasher we used alot of those small dodgers for salmon with 4" squid for salmon great lakes. We would bend the dodgers in S shape so we could troll them faster. 6' leaders off the dipsy diver was important as well

[@adammettervillefishing207]

Great video. Trolling gulp is interesting, going to give it a try next time. Tight lines!

[@bigefarming5598]

Sweet day catching man!

[@user-re2oe6hz9t]

Thanks for the video. I was very interested. It is also great that you tell us what baits you are fishing for. I will watch other videos. I would also be interested to hear what fishing rods you use and what line or cord?

[@enoswebster6902]

ok what do mean 2 color or one & half is that the whole color in the water or what? also what pound lead core and how far down do each color run?

[@MillerOutdoors1]

I count the amount of line touching the water, so if the end of the 2nd color of lead core is behind the boat touching the water that's 2 colors out. If the end of the 2nd color is barely off the spool that's roughly 1.5 colors out. I count on about 5 feet down per color out going 2mph. Maybe 6' per color going 1.5 and 3 or 4 feet down per color going 2.5 or faster. It depends on what you're trolling, as that can effect how far down also, but those #'s are trolling something light like a streamer fly or small spoon with no dodger.

[@trevorbanister1]

Do you have a link to the dodgers you like/use? I didn’t know there were dodgers you could troll at 2mph without them doing 360s

[@michaellessard9501]

How are you rigging up your gulps?

[@MillerOutdoors1]

#4 3xl streamer hook. Down the middle, hook coming out top pretty far back. Eye buried a bit inside the gulp so it doesn't want to slide off.

[@jacobherrmann8140]

What boat is that? Looks perfect for the lakes around me and I'm in the market for one!

[@MillerOutdoors1]

Griff craft. Made in Starke FL. Bought it from Eagle View in Cape Coral

[@scottbrightman3662]

Would you mind telling me what time of year you went fishing? What month? I live in Manchester, and it seems like a pretty good please to go to.

[@MillerOutdoors1]

I think it was June.

[@jphawkes2]

Curious what hook you're using for the gulp minnow? Would like to give this a try. Thanks!

[@MillerOutdoors1]

#4 3xl streamer hook

[@stevedyer5902]

What a great video! What is the model number on those ugly stick fishing rods?

[@MillerOutdoors1]

Thanks. Can't read the model numbers. Too many fishing trips and their worn off. :P

[@OldManOnTheMt]

What was your trolling speed . Video made it look a bit fast but it was definitely working for you !

[@MillerOutdoors1]

Roughly 1.8 to 2.2 mph

[@alekcook9957]

What's length of the leader you have on the lead core? Good video.

[@MillerOutdoors1]

It varies on what I'm trolling, but I run between 20 to 50' of 10lb test fluoro to a bead (so can't reel thru eye of rod) then a good trolling swivel and snap, and I pre-make 48 inch leaders of 6lb test fluoro to attach to that with a loop knot on one end and a very small VMC snap for quick lure changes on the other end.

[@benandmasonsworld4734]

What rod , reel and lead core did you use

[@MillerOutdoors1]

Listed down in video description.

[@benandmasonsworld4734]

@@MillerOutdoors1 I don’t see it, all it’s says is the lures

[@MillerOutdoors1]

@benandmasonsworld4734 Will have a look after get off the water tonight. From memory, ugly stik rod, small Penn line counter reel, 15 or 20 lb leadcore, 5 or 6 ft of 14lb fluoro to trolling swivel, then 15 to 25 ft of 8lb fluoro to dodger, and 15 inches or so of 8 lb fluoro to 3xl #4 streamer hook

[@blazzajc3827]

What rod and reel are you using for leadcore

[@MillerOutdoors1]
