I'd make it simple if it was me. Green 11 inch flasher of some sort (preferably glow) and either hootchies or coyote spoons behind it. Length behind is determined by whether it's a a spoon or hootchie, lengths are different.

The fish you are fishing for are migratory so pick your trolling depth based on that. If they were feeders I'd troll within 10 feet of the bottom but since they are migratory shallower is better. Start at 30 feet at daybreak and sunny or overcast determines the maximum depth to fish at.

Check your lures often to make sure they aren't fouled with seaweed.

Red racer spoons for silvers and (I like green) glow spoons for kings.

Important addition. Be sure to use smelly jelly on the flashers and trailers. I shoot smelly jelly up the butt of the hootchies and rub it on the spoons

Pretty much A9 listed everything you will need. I like maxima A LOT more than p line though.
Something no one has said yet jigs. I like point wilsons the best but any pencil jig will work. White is a good color but just about any color will put fish in the box.
Mooching also is a great way. Get some banana weights from 2oz to how ever big you feel you need. I normally dont go over 2. Some good double hook rigs. Trolling cut plugs on the riggers or even flat line works when there arent sharks around.

LOL.........

No RaMcVey, just enjoying a change of pace for now. Still have all the Muskie gear but it's all still put away and I have yet to go after them. I'm sure that will chance sometime soon.

Holy carp! Thanks for all the great responses everyone! A9, that was an amazing rundown! I apologize for the lateness in my reply-- unexpected death in the family.

'OL GREY DOG, wasn't ignoring you. Thank you for the offer! It's basically a two person boat and I have a couple of friends wanting to go out with me for the first few times I take it out at least-- but I bet they'll get tired of it pretty quick when they realize how much money you lose in gear.

Thanks again everybody! You all make this website great!
