Trollerdenden, I troll buggs and leesville a lot and use stretch 25 and umbrella rigs, mostly stretches and do fairly well at Buggs, been thinking about trying SML, what do you recommend. Have not fished SML since the mid 90s almost got ran over, we were anchored live bait fishing and boat came by so close they hit two of our rod tips, I haven't been back and don't think I will ever night fish there again.

I tried it sunday and had good luck,, have always fished live bait. I used Alabama rig with zoom flukes on jig heads and then a bucktail for trailer.

I've done a decent amount of trolling trying to figure out and see the lake. Most of the time I run deep diving redfins or kvd 6xd crankbaits. Hitting the points trying to find fish stacked and several coves above the trees. Its tough to judge your depth, but once your able to have an idea how deep your running, I typically have decent luck picking fish out of the trees. It gets expensive but a nice resort to a slow day. With the outboard I get 1-2 passes in a cove before the fish turn off. When all else fails I'll pull crankbaits.
