thanks for all the advice guys. went out last night. was on the water from 7pm - 1am. caught a half a dozen shorts trolling an umbrella in the lower middle. then we trolled and chunked around the DI area, but only managed a handful of shorts (and some cod, go figure). one problem is that the slowest my buddies boat goes is ~7 mph. I am assuming this is too fast for trolling the tube 'n' worm. What is the best trolling speed for tube 'n' worm? If the answer is "as slow as you can", then is 7 mph too fast? Thanks again.
