Trolled today form falmouth to scraggy neck. WITH BLUES every 10 min! Birds where nuts. Fish where hot. I guess on bad day makes up for one good day

How do you rig up the macks to troll? Do you just use a bullet style trolling weight with 8 ft. or so of fluorocarbon? Circle hooks or trebles?
How much line do you let out?
Thanks.
