I've been seeing a lot of people trolling recently and was curious what pace everyone prefers or if you have to change it up. Also, seen folks trolling with jigs, traps and mirrodines...

The word on the water was that trolling at around 1.2 mph is the key speed. I can say that it worked for me to an extent. I ended up doing better at 1.1 mph.
I have the minkota w/ipilot and what i did was made a track on my ipilot from where I wanted to start to where I wanted the end. Then it is autopilot from there on out. It also kept me at a depth where the fish were, which on this day was at the 15' mark.
The ipilot is a must if you're trolling by yourself as it will do all the work for you and keep you at the right place.
When I hooked up with a fish, then all i do his hit anchor on the trolling motor and then I can fight the fish without having to fight the moving boat.
