hey ben if your running a minnkota you probely wont be using a downrigger and cant run a deep six cuz wont be going fast enough against the current so hootchies flashers spoons ect are out unless jigging them. be a jigger/moocher at southworth. or get a 1 oz sliding weight and a small cut plug or 4-5 inch herring strip and troll 10-20 ft of water. in the morning/evening and cloudy days there are just as many fish up shallow, actually caught about 60 or 70 silvers up shallow last fall in central sound around here, mainly fly fishin thou and caught a couple kings and bright chums in 15 ft of water surface trolling the herring but all in all with your set up fish the shallow water, besides averybody and there grandma will be fishin deeper with downriggers and pulling the latest fad in hardware and the people who fish alot and are bored with downriggers will be fishin the shoreline and catchin more fish. if your still around I'll show you whats up in july with fishing along the shoreline. july your best bet would be in front of the hammerhead or railroad tracks with herring and a lot of line out. or the point no point/eglon area. Ben
