First off, thanks for the comments!
John R....thanks for pointing out not to troll through a school....I reread my post and it was the wording that was screwed up....I plan to troll tubes or when working a school trying underneath...ie casting a sinking lure and working below the feeding frenzy!
I also find it extremely aggravating when someone crashes through a school like that!!!
I went on a charter a few weeks ago and noticed that the captain trolled at 3.2-4knots when using a 9er rig.....and we were bagging the bass left and right, I was surprised at how fast he was trolling (The Boston Harbor). When we used the tubes he was trolling 1.5-2.5knots as I would have guessed....do you guys have any comments on that?
One other question, when trolling brenton reef or any reef for that matter, how close do you try to get....as close as you can without purchasing a new lower unit?? I always error on the side of conservatism and stay too far away which probably puts me out of striking range.
Clammer....is pojac point and the east side of patience Island a good place to dig for clams?? Is there good clamming on the south side of Prudence? Where might one go to find mussels??
Thanks!
