Gilly,
99% of the time I bump troll the "canyons" around the humps as Ronnie said. Cross over the humps or ledges. Study the charts for clues (we even have a place called Tinkers Ledge locally)and also notice where the lobstermen have carpet bombed an area. Two ounce diamond jig or weight on sabiki 2 to 3 boat lengths behind the boat. More often than not I will get them without marking. I carry a couple cans of cat food for the times I can't find them or to bring them in when I only get one or two. You will get your own spots by trolling over time, without having to follow the fleet.
