My buddy and I are considering skipping a weekend of duck hunting and trying the night trolling bite, would this weekend be a good introduction for us to do this? Clearly we’ve never doene the fall trolling thing, and could use any advise anyone is willing to share….PM’s are welcome, and will remain private.
Thanks
Dave
If I could I would… The water isn’t below that 50 degree “magic” mark but it’s getting close (55). The water temps have been stable for a week now and from my past experience, when the water stabilizes from the initial big drop (@74 degrees 1 month ago) the initial surge of fall piggy’s come to bite. Plus the weather looks absolutely perfect.
PS – I have never duck hunted. 
I haven’t been up there, but from what I hear the bite is still slow. It will probably be getting better everyday now though.
Maybe do both up there.
Not sure if there is much duck hunting going on the big lake any more. The old timers used to talk about walking out to the reed beds on the NE and North end of the lake and duck hunt. No reeds left up there that I see. Still plenty of lakes, pot holes, rivers, creeks ect. in the area to hunt.
I hammered them on Milly in high school. Especially when the trollers were out kicking up the ducks. I hunted by the wharf but not sure with all the houses now.

I came up Tuesday night to mille for a weekend of fins and feathers duck hunting has been slow fishing is good. 3 ducks were taken and a goose on a smaller lake near by this morning. Here is a pic of yesterday’s best fish
Don’t know why my phone loaded the pic sideways 
Did you fish after dark?
Yes we pitched some very heavy weed cover . Best was a skinny 24. Trolling shallow tonight. Report from reeds was good most of the lake. Inside the weed lines.

What are the better baits for this, origional floater F-11?
bent lip shads are good for shallow fishing or #10 HJ….original floaters will work as well…
