I have a spot here in LIS that we drift live baits over. At starts at the top of a kelp covered reef in 16 feet of water and drops slowly to 30 feet. Some days a 3 way and others I just liveline during the drift. Livelining seems to work better on slower tides (the shad or porgie swim down). On faster tides or windy days a livelined fish stays on top. We've caught a bunch of fish in the mid 40s (inches) doing this. I may have to try this trolling thing. I like the sound of the simple egg sinker.
Do you troll with, against or across the tide? And about what speed?
