trolling

[bigcat2525]

Often i here that trolling very effective in pay lakes especially for blues , I have never had much luck with ? Can someone explain how the technique is utilized ,not sure if im doing it right and also does it matter what kinda of bait u troll? or does only certain baits work trolling ??

thanks again ?

when i troll, i just reel my line in kinda slow. usually a half a handle turn at a time. this gives your bait a bouncing motion. most of what i troll with is dead, curled chub,chub head, leeches and crawlers. i will troll small mullets or small warmouth live. hope this helps some!

I catch more fish trolling than any other way... Usually with dead bait of some kind.. Just throw out let it sit for a min reel back in a few feet let it sit and so on and so on... Troll slow... if their not hittn with your bobber just sittn out there usually means its time to troll

trolling is a good way to trying and find where they are sitting at also.

Bounce,, Bounce, Reel. If I am trolling around structure like a dock, I will use live bait preferably bluegill. If I am trolling deep water in the lake I will use head with Leech or night crawler and leech.

when i troll i use shad heads tipped with a leech an sometimes i will troll live shad an i always do good that way. when the fish dont come to me i go to them thats what trollin is about . " fish hard or go home"

hey guys just wanted to thank u guys on the help with trolling this week i made my self troll and really slowed it down. I hit a 47lbs and several 30+ blues with gill heads or shad heads . Kinda of funny i drove 4 hrs to fish a lake up arounds cincy no luck in over 2 tickets and come home to a lake by the house and hit the 47 in 15 minutes trolling lololol the irony lol

should you troll on bottom? or does it really matter I have tried it alot just never get anything from it, is trolling something that works better during the day?

[catdaddy]

I think trolling works all the time.... If your not catching just sittn then troll..... You will usually catch something.... I guess it just depends where the fish are... sometimes I troll deep sometimes shallow... If you see a bunch of fish rolln then troll shallow.... Just play with the depth. either start deep then get shallower or start shallow and get deep... It takes alot of effort sometimes, but it pays off ....

thanks man so as long as i troll slow im good it doesn't matter how deep ?

dont troll the bottom if there are snags..(air lines,rockpiles ect)go about 6 inches off bottom

[larrylegend]

and you're more likely to snag the fish also and that will just kill them off
