Quinte Fishing

you need to account for line stretch, also lures work effectivlyat certain distances and line thickness. you will reach a maximum depth say at 150 feet after that the lure will rise, its pure physics your line reaches its apex. which is a curve unless you have a weight or dipsey then this changes , but when flat lining you need to find out the best operating length with the lure you are using. there is a book on this. for example a reef runner deep diver 10lb. line at 150 feet = 18.5 feet this is the maximum operating lead after this it wil. slowly rise. this comes from years of expierience trolling the great lakes just tryin to help out remember on a good day your the best fisherman on a bad day your a bum lol. being consistant is the key .

thanks to all who replied to my post. Some really good reasons for what works for you each.It does seem to be a good topic with lots of variables. As pointed out in some the situations dictate the appropriate target speed.
So now the question is ...what's your favourite position??..............................................................
front of the boat or rear?
Happy Trolls
