Trolling depths?

[Gino@Rondout]

The water has started to cool lately. What would be a good depth to troll for browns this time of year. Hoping to head up to Pepacton next weekend, and was wondering what a good starting trolling depth would be. Thanks

Use your depthfinder to locate the fish
We have no idea at what depth the fish are at.

WATER TEMP IS THE KEY[some finders have temp.BUT that temp is at the
CONE HEAD] you want a temp unit that gos over the side and can go down

If you have a portable fish finder that will help you find fish. The problem with that is your fishing the pepacton probably out of a row boat. (no motor) rowing around looking for fish is not likely. You could take a vexlar temp prob and drop it down to find temps of around 60 degrees. If I had the ability to find the depth the bait fish are that is the depth I would try. What is your method of fishing? Do you have a manual down rigger? Are you using lead-core?

I used dipsey divers and spoons. I have a fishin buddy, but it only takes surface temp. It does mark fish and depth of fish.

O.K. --to me and only me ,i think you need a temp gauge that is a different
thing.to me you need a unit to go over the side of the boat AND TELLS THE
TEMP. as it go down.[the temp at 10 ft. the temp at 20 ft. the temp at 30ft
to me and only me,what is the temp.for the fish i want
