Default Trolling RV 10.26.14

Trolled RV today from around 2pm until about 7:30 when it got too dark to see the leader boards. Was using Rapala J9 and warrior spoons while trolling about 35-40’ deep with leadcore and planer boards.

Caught a 17” laker on a spoon and then later a perch and a small bluegill which was barely bigger than the lure. All catch and release.

Also snagged and broke off a couple of lures, that has been happening a lot lately. Was fishing in pretty deep water so this was surprising. Maybe I was trolling too slowly and got too close to the shore. Do you guys often lose lures trolling RV?

I have a paddlewheel speedometer for my fishfinder which doesn’t really work at slow speed. Can one of you guys recommend a gps speedometer for a small boat, maybe a handheld or something? I tried using the iPhone aps for speed but they didn’t seem to be accurate at low speed. What do you guys use to measure trolling speed if you don’t have gps on your sonar unit?
