    I believe they are in portage Indiana. Right by my house. That time of year there's no need for downriggers unless for trout. The coho usually are in the 5 to 10 ft depth for trolling

    Don’t deploy your rods until after you’ve activated your Ulterra and set your troll. Spring Coho are NOT boat shy, so you don’t need to run your boards so far out (which of course will allow you to make tighter turns inside the pack). Set your boards to release on command and slide down the main line to the swivel at the top of your leader; this allows you and your buddies to reel in and net each fish without having to monkey with the board. Nice Laker! That area is known for good Lake Trout fishing in the Spring and Fall. Thanks for the video; I’d pull my Triton up to your neck of the woods, but it’s difficult to “leave fish to find fish”….😂

    How deep were your peanut flys running? I fish for cohos in the same area and have found at this time of year they like them VERY shallow: 8 - 15 ft down from the surface. I don’t even use leadcore- either dipsys for the deeper ones, or just 20-30 ft of braid out from your boards to a 5/8 oz keel sinker to a 5 ft mono leader then your dodger then your 18 inch leader to fly.

    If your boat is set up properly, its not too hard to do. Just let enough line out to separate your boards. With a little practice you can get the hang of it. Outside board is connected to the top rod in our rod holder.

The browns do a good job of keeping the gobies in check and everyone wants to keep the brown trout around. Lake trout just don't generate money in lake Michigan like the salmon do.

    Manuals are more reliable in our opinion. Dont have to worry about fuses tripping in the rigger itself, electrical issues, wiring and more. Additionally, a lot of our fishing is in 80 feet or less so we can get a manual up just as quick.
