Rolled out to the launch about 8 am, windy chilly weather! Dropped lines in the water up near Swawilla on the North side. Wind was an issue so can't really say what our trolling speed was, 2.0 to 2.7 ...

Sorry for the late report. As most of us know though the winter fishing pattern for Roosevelt doesn't change all too much once the water cools down in Fall. My buddy and I started fishing the mouth ...

Lots of rainbow action on Roosevelt.
They are in the upper colum of water. Shallow downriggers or side plane surface.
