Re: Cockpit Mezzanine & Tuna Tube Winter Project
You use them as a pitch bait or traditional live bait presentation?

Re: Cockpit Mezzanine & Tuna Tube Winter Project
You have trolling valves to get that slow. Even one engine I’m at 5 kts. We live bait googleyes and greenies when we fish sails south of Stuart but off FtPierce live bait isn’t that productive the fish aren’t that concentrated and trolling covers more territory. We’ve tried 5-10lb boneheads bridled up here and in the Bahamas but it seems they just attract sharks. I guess if your going to all that trouble it must be effective in the gulf.

Re: Cockpit Mezzanine & Tuna Tube Winter Project
I've got stbd engine idled down to a hair over 450rpm. I am going to take it even further. Into current stbd in fwd gives me about 3.5-4knt.
We live bait troll around oil rigs and weed lines holding bait. When traveling from spot to spot we drag a couple of marlin/wahoo lures, with a couple baits bridled and ready to go. If we spot a fad or weedline we troll by with the artificials, then pull them in and come back through and drop some livies on it.SOUTHPAWS
