Bottom bouncing is a technique used to catch the big  fish in lakes.

Bottom bouncing basics:

1. use enough lead to keep line angle at 45 degree angle

2. set lure troll speed while lure is next to boat

3. drop lure until lure hits bottom

4. reel up so lead is just off bottom

5. have lead on dropper so if hung up you don't lose lure

6. use a floating lure  so it stays off bottom

7. lure size should be the size of a baitfish

8. sharp hooks

9. drop lure when bottom contour changes

10. The bite should be a hard take down .....set the hook!!
