July 2024-"River Trolling"
We're talking about trolling the big water....and the river, this time on the Off Shore Tackle podcast with tournament angler Roy Miller.
We catch up with Roy as he's prefishing for an MWT Tourney on Northern Lake Huron. He describes his program for catching fish in crystal clear water.
Then the conversation turns toward chasing walleye in rivers. While most anglers jig for those fish, Roy prefers to troll.
Miller trolls the Detroit River but says the tactic will work on other rivers as well. -
