Trolling Charts

Does anyone know where you can find trolling charts close to the one in the "Precision Trolling Book" online. Taking a shot before spending the $40 at Gander. Hey we're in a recession.
Thanks in advance!

    i have one of the older ones and have been offered more than what i paid for it.  they hold their value.  also, rapala has one out, but it is inclusive only of their products.  
     
    eyes, are you anywhere near the ohio line at all.  i could lend you mine to write down some of the info.  i know how that recession thing gets in the way.  lemme know.

    Anyone know approx. how much difference using Power-pro (20lb) would be to the 10lb mono that they chart from?  From my understanding, braid cuts through the water better, and would be thinner diameter.  Is it much more noticeable?
     
    Also, anyone try the precision trolling mobile app?  I think you have to pay for each lure, but if only using 5-6 lures, not bad.

    I read this article and am now crossed eyed, confused and, puckered.  Therefore I shall remain one who 'chucks and cranks' or, 'tosses and tows' his fishing lures in hopes of "FISH ON"!
     
    Butttttttttt for those of you that understand this stuff; maybe it will help yinz to put your lures/baits where ya wants em.
     
    Hope it helps someone.  http://fishinggearguru.com/depthcharge.html

    The mobile app is decent for a start.  The only thing missing IMO is speed.  They have leadcore with some cranks marked as 2.0mph.  The problem is running a crank at 1.3 vs 2.3 is a big difference.  As with any depth chart I only use it as a rough estimate, then make adjustments as to what the fish tell me they want.
