we trolled wedding rings and homemade variations at 0.5 to 1.9 mph. We tipped them with salad shrimp or potskies eggs which worked good in the morning. The wind came up in the afternoon so I had to use my 115 hp motor to keep the boat under comtrol. This is why the trolling speed is so varied. We tipped the lures with worms in the afternoon. With the wind so strong it was hard to keep a steady speed. When I realized that my wife and son-in-law were starting to hit one fish after another I continuted to variey the speed we caught 13 fish in 2hrs.I feel the uneven trolling speed was the key
