I'm always casting. I do very little trolling..so I'm gonna switch it up and do a mostly trolling chubby-chaser spree @ Pymatuning.
So here are my issues if you guys would be so kind to consult me:
- I just picked up a couple 8' St Croix Premier Glass rods and Daiwa Sealine 47 line counters. What kind of line do you recommend I spool on these guys?..do I go with heavy Mono or a braid? If mono, I'd love to hear a preferred brand/strength since I've been using exclusively braided line on all my reels.
- Do you guys have any success running planer boards? I thought I'd run 1 one or two prop rods out the back and 2 out rods w/planers to cover more area and swing thru some shallower areas. Yes there will be 2 people, no blow-up dolls...as exciting as that thread was.
- I'm gonna go next week when the full moon is in. What kind of speed is everyone cruising at right about now or sould I just switch it up throughout the day?
- My arsenal is gonna include Wileys, Depth-Raiders, Cranes, Legend Perchbaits, Leo Shaylas, Rapalas, stuff like that maybe a Shallow Invader...Any special lure/pattern/forage color you guys would recommend for Pymy?
- I keep hearing the Southern end of the lake is good. I bought a Hot Spots map and circled some areas, but I'm not super familiar with the lake other than feeding carp with my kids at the Spillway. Launch/Area recommendations? I'm basically gonna cruise around all-day looking for weed edges, humps, schools of baitfish.
The guy with best tip may end up with a gift card if I can score some quality slime. You can be vague, I don't need top-secrets of Pymy revealed here. Thanks guys for any info you can share!
