Stealth trolling Mini Mack's will really come into play as the water cools! You can pull it has a down line or behind a planer board, and both are equally effective. One of my guest caught this one using the Mini behind the Perfect Planer!

I have been getting some questions about ditches and how to find them, here is a clip from last year that will hopefully provide some answers.

Brad Murphy, 1/2 of Double Trouble Guide Service, reports a very good trolling bite on the Hill!! Mini Macks on the Leadcore are whacking the Stripers and the Hybrids!!
