Hello,

We do a bit of trolling for the fatties off Nantucket.

Keys:

"Lead-Head" squid jig (white) with red pork rind.
Wire Line
controlled "good" driver at the helm. Place boat up current of bar with water flowing from deep to shallow to deep. Begin troll by setting speed at around 2.5-2.75 Kts. (NO FASTER). Let lines drop untill they touch bottom and retrieve until "bumps" stop. Head towards rip, up current and swing stern to rip as you pass. Begin jigging lures. As you pass by and swing above rip your gear will slip over bar and into holes on lee side of rip. When the current is flowing AND the fish are there you cannot miss.

Tight Lines !
