Best way around here is a boat is a must. Now a days every body uses them SABIKI setups. I use the#12-14 size hook. When trolling I put a4-6oz diamond or norwegien jig on the end or what ever.

Yes they school sometimes on the surface and at other times they are down deep. if they are close to the surface you won't see them on the fish finder. Look for birds feeding or use trial and error by trolling blindly for15-20minutes, look for other people drifting or trolling. Here in Gloucester Harbor we troll from the inner harbor to the break water and if no results move on and try again.
