Somewhere between 0 and 50 mph.

It all depends on the fish, water conditions, lure, etc.

Change your speed, until you catch the fish with the correct lure.

The general speed range is 1-3 mph. But .5 and 5 mph is not out of the question.

If you were to just choose one speed - choose 1.5 mph.

Always check the action of your lure at the speed you are running to be sure that the lure is doing what you want. Always be aware of what is going on at the end of your line. Keep a vigilant eye on your electronics, and be knowledgeable of your lures running depth so that you can keep your lure at the level of the marked fish or a bit above them.

Fish will come up for a bait, but seldom go down for a bait.

Be safe
