Being confident in your presentation is a major step towards successful trolling. While I do agree that changing out lures/colors is a great tactic, I do feel that a boat should develop a go to spread that works for them in a majority of situations, or maybe a set for the target tunas/pelagics you seek. The only way to do so is to choose quality lures/bars/chains that fits your style and appeals to your quarry, and fish them hard. Once you have your spread and can successfully use it, then start with Capt. Curts great tip to change it up often when nothing is working.
If you are afraid to try new things, like speeding up as mentioned above, you will catch less guaranteed |
