25 fow has been good for us all over. Covering ground with cranks has been my tactic of choice this summer.

Snap weights also work great for dropping cranks down into the hit zone. A 2 oz. snap weight will get a #7 Flicker Minnow down to 30 fow.

20 ft lead, 3oz is snap any crank you want…. It’s that’s simple

Let it hit bottom reel it up a turn or two and sit back

Lot of the tour guys run 8oz snaps and apparently it’s a 1:1 ratio for line out and feet down I have 8oz snaps but have never tested the method. I’ve tried all the fancy precision trolling BS the 50/50 method or the +1 method but I’ll be honest 20–30ft lead and a 3-4oz snap let it hit bottom reel it up a few turns and you’ll fill the live well up in van hook .

Bite has definitely slowed on live bait.

Trolling cranks and jigging raps seem to be what is still catching the fish
