fall trolling help

[muskiejoe]

Hi guys, I need some help. We are heading up to the pond Tuesday night for the trolling night bite. We have never done this before. Any tips or suggestions? We are thinking of either going out of the casino landing or the Cove landing. I know the casino landing is great with lights etc, does the cove landing have a light? Any suggestions on depth etc? We are thinking Anderson's and rocky reef if we go out of Cove, or Indian Point if we go out of the Casiono landing. Thanks. Joe

I would try out of the Casino Area. Indian point can be good.

Of the two landings you mentioned I'd do the casino landing. Cove gets a bit tricky at night if you're not familiar with it.

A lot fo folks also use the Garrison access and fish the reef or the shoreloine with a lot of success as well. Pretty straight forward there.

Other recommendation is to get there during daylight and get a feel for the structure you plan on fishing. It can get a bit hairy at night with all the boats and if the wind is blowing it'll make it more of an adventure.

Thanks for the suggestions... Does the Cove Landing have a light that comes on after dark so I can see when I put the boat back on the trailer? Any other tips on depths lures reefs etc? Thanks, Joe

Cove is a bit tricky getting from the main lake to the access after dark, there's a couple of bouyed lanes there you need to hit between open water and the access. Mark the last set of bouys on the GPS when you head out. Once thru the markers, the landing is fine, lit OK and manageable, and protected from any wind.

Alot of talk about the west side i.e. Indian Point. Is the east side just as good say Big point area, or is the west side the place to be? Good luck
