if you want to troll, you will need to get a rod holder that clamps on to one of your rails or stanchions. they sell them everywhere.
you will also need to get a shorter rod.
if you have time to stop and cast, you may have luck driving your tender around and poking in an out of structure and casting at it.
9 foot is going to be a lot of rod to handle on a blowboat. i have done it, but you have to be constantly aware of the backstay and the rig in genral.
usually trolling the bay you are going too fast for stripers but you can catch blues.
I would use swimming plastics like yozuri crystal minnow for trolling for blues from a sailboat.
umm... what else.... i guess you should also get heavier line. you will be going 6 or 7 kts, and then you start reeling in the bluefish, and you will basically be skipping it accross the surface to the boat. you will need wire leader for the bluefish teeth.
I would also be using conventional gear for trolling, not spinning
Hate to take the wind out of your sails..... but that is my advice.
