You have no idea how much this trip meant to my Dad! We just want to thank you sooo much! I love seeing him do what he loves and so happy! Thank you!!!
Your dad is one of a kind! This world needs him and family like yours right now more than ever. Setting a good example is the strongest thing we can do right now, and your dad sets the best! When he says things like “there are too many fish to be caught” or “I have a long way to go, but I’m gonna get there” you can see in his eyes he’s not playing around. He means it. We are all very fortunate and blessed to be even a small part of his recovery. 😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏❤️
You're blessed to still have him and he is blessed to be here moving around. My father had a bad stroke years ago and never was EVER able to move half the body or talk really. He lived 5 years like that and then died of stomach infection. I was only 23 years old and I miss him so much. I'm 39 now. At least I could come by during that 5 years and be able to show him my big fish pics that I told him he taught me how to catch those!! It was bittersweet that he saw my huge Northern Pike that we had been fishing and searching for together for many years. He and we never had caught a huge one let alone one all that big. Cherish your father like never before and just think about how blessed you all really are everyday. This most likely brought you both together even though it was a horrible experience to have a stroke. God bless!
Look at where you are now! Congratulations!
Continued prayers
Amazing!!!! Right!!??? Bill and his brother both had the warmest personalities I’ve ever encountered. I’m glad we got alot of video because they set a great example. 👍👍
Yes sir! And with some incredible people! Thanks Walter !
Such a amazing video,A real man will cry and that separates the men from boys. As a Pastor,I can say that Matthew 4:19 is true as it gets and this video is proof of it.God Bless you all .
Well said my brother!! Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen.
Wow… That’s all I can say right now, because I’m too choked up to say much more. Well done Mike…
Thanks Todd!! I know what you mean brother!! Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
All I can say is ,Thank god for you and your crew your not just what fishing is all about but what life is all about
Great story I’m all teary eyed from watching this one captain!!!
I appreciate that brother!! I had an allergy problem too. 😁😁.
Mike you have my trust so when I read "please watch..." I thought why would you write that? Why is this 1 video so special? Man O man am I glad I watched. We all have problems some are bigger than others and you Mike are a special person. Bill (and Rusty) are an inspiration! and to watch you all together was absolutely heart warming THANK YOU team old school! Catchem up...
Thanks Tim!!! I’m glad it hit you the same way it hit me. There were quite a few cool things going on in this video, but there was one thing that really stood out and affected me the most.
That was how powerful gratitude can be. Let me start by saying I AM EXTREMELY fortunate to have the job I have and I will NEVER complain about it, however, the changes RUclips has made, were devastating my channel to the point that 90% of the videos I posted in the last 2 years have STILL not paid enough to even cover the expenses to make them. With no light at the end of the tunnel, I was starting to feel hopeless, and hopelessness is the most devastating emotion. As I was finishing up a video that I knew was gonna lose money, I was really wondering how much longer I could justify carrying on. At around 2am I got Bill’s first email with that video clip in it. It hit me in the chest like a wrecking ball. I went from feeling totally beat and hopeless to feeling a new fire to get back at editing and producing new videos asap. I realized then that I didn’t always NEED to get 100,000 views, I just needed to get that ONE view. That one SPECIAL one.
Thanks again brother!!!
I appreciate your continued support!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😁👍👍👍👍👍
Hey captain Mike! three months since this video came out and I still find myself watching it once a week and re-reading all the awesome comments from a bunch of incredible people who will never know how much their comments have contributed to me staying positive on my stroke recovery journey. I am still making progress little by little and will never quit! There too many fish to be caught to just give up and sit in a recliner! A big THANK YOU to Captain Mike Smedley , Old School Striped Bass Fishing Team, Rich Coulson @ Headfirst Custom Rods and all the amazing folks who commented such kind words!
Love Ya ! Mean It ! Old School GOD BLESS !!!
You’re a special dude Bill. Your family are such huge heroes. I hope they realize that. It can be hard to see sometimes when you’re so close to it. My crew and I got so much out of our trip so in a way, you and your family are heroes to US as well. I tell people something all the time about you. “When Bill looked me in the eye and said- Mike, I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ll get there. There are too many fish that need to be caught” it’s probably the first time in my life I could read someone’s eyes and they said; “I AM GONNA GET THERE” with 100% accuracy. I thought to myself; DANG RIGHT YOU’RE GONNA GET THERE.
😁👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Hello "Mike Smedley"! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful video! I feel so happy! I'm looking forward to your next work! Have a nice day!
Gave Bill a sub. Much love to all you guys and God Bless
This is great. Sometimes things happen that restore my faith in humanity. This is one of those things ❤
Thank you!!!🙏🙏🙏. Bill sets a powerful example for sure!! 👍😊😊
Yes sir!!!! Thanks brother!!!😊👍👍👍🙏🙏
Awesome Mike! One of the highlights of my life and I’m glad you shared the fun we had with your supporters! I hope they enjoy watching it as much as I have! It was like we were on the water all over again!
Always keep pushing! 💪
Never give up!🇺🇸
You don’t have to look very far to find someone worse off than yourself!
Thank God for His
blessings!🙏🙏
OLD SCHOOL!!!!
Love ya! Mean it!
God Bless !!!
I speak for my crew when I say we are all better people for having known you. The only thing you can do these days is SET A GOOD EXAMPLE. You and your brother set the best! The Reddoch family is OLD SCHOOL TO THE BONE!!!! Y’all are who I was thinking of when we named our team. When people ask about the name I’m gonna send them a link to your channel!! 👍👍👍👍😁.
You’re gonna have to bring Lincoln, Rusty, and your other brother to fish this FALL!! You won’t believe the action in fall!!!
Hopefully we can work it out this fall !
Was amazing to see you get on the water, sir. Great video, and may you have many more fishing trips in your future!
@@Stonehorn thanks for the kind words! There are going to be many more fishing trips if I have anything to do with it!😀🙏🙏
Nothing But Class! Way to Go Guys!
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate your continued support brother!!😁🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great story! What a day that was. Beautiful fish and great fishing.

Good on you guys. Really nice gesture on your part.
I appreciate that. Thanks brother!!!!🙏🙏
I Striper Fish in Lake Murry, SC. Your videos helped me, but I still got some learning to do.
AWESOME!!! Thanks!!!👍🙏🙏
Well damm, now i'm getting teary eyed. Mike, you guys rock.
Thanks David!!! My allergies acted up while editing. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤫🤫🤫🤫
Bad things happen to the best of people sometimes that's for sure!! BUT I truly believe that the boating and fishing communities (esp. fishing) are some of the kindest and caring people out there. That gentleman looked soo happy to be fishing/catching with you guys. I lost my father in February this year and this gentleman reminded so much of him. We grew up fishing and boating LI waters and now my kids are following suit. Thx for this uplifter I WILL re-watch and I hope him and his family are doing well. Rock on Fellas
I can’t tell you how much this comment means to me brother!!! ❤️ Thank you sir!!!! I really appreciate your support!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Anytime my friend. Oddly enough this past Tuesday evening After the storms rolled through, I caught my personal best 46lb striper. Very unexpected this time of the year for MID-LI Sound! Perhaps someone was looking over me that night. Wishing you and your crew a safe rest of your summer.
@@SD-kp1yk LOVE IT!! Congratulations brother!! Something tells me you deserved that one. It’s hard to beat when the right person catches the right fish. 🙏🙏👍👍👍
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS thank you sir. #2023EpicStriperSeason

Wow! Thanks Mark!! I really appreciate that brother!!! And I REALLY appreciate your continued support!!👍🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Mark! I really appreciate your kind words!
I am a new Subscriber to Bill and Mike. Love what Y'all are doing. Tight Lines Fellas
Thank you brother!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mike you and the boys show just what a community is all about. Watching this made my eyes water…I just moved to New England and I am trying to learn everything I can about saltwater fishing. I found your channel months ago and have been learning weekly from you. Caught my first fish of the year on a spoon that you recommended! I moved from the land locked hills of West Virginia, where there is fishing everywhere, but all freshwater, very different than this type of fishing. When I watch you guys its like watching my family with cousins and uncles out there helping each other out. Keep up the good work! I am gonna make a trip to New Jersey and go fishing sometime soon. Thank you for all the hard work that you do. I know how hard all the stuff you are doing is. I come from the media world, made a couple short movies, hundreds of commercials, have taught video production for a few years. Your output is great and tells a great story in every episode. Thanks for doing all you do!! Roger
Wow! Thanks Roger!! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment with this!!
Atta boy Mike and the entire TEAM OLD SCHOOL FAMILY. Continue to spread the BLESSINGS. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL. 🙏🙏 KEEP PRESSING ON BILL.
I surround myself with good people. The BEST people. If you’re in my crew and if I endorse your product (and rods)😛 you’re GOOD people!! Life is too short to be around knuckleheads 😁😁
Rich , one of my hero’s! Thank you sir!
@@billreddochoutdoors5968 It was a pleasure, have a blessed night. 🙏🙏
Unbelievable Mike! What a fantastic story (the entire video!) & Loved the Inspiration! An Amazing Day on the water with all those Stripers! Team Old School is the BEST.......hands down! 👍👍
Thank you my brother!!! It took some slick editing at the end when that bug flew in my eye. 😉😉😉😉😉🙏🙏👍
Great video!! God bless all of you!!
Thank you! Same to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Awesome video guys! RUclips, heck the world, needs more of this.
Thank you!! I agree! We feel fortunate to even be a part of Bill’s story. 😊😊👍👍🙏🙏
That's fantastic...that's what it's all about!
Thanks George!!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏. I appreciate your continued support!!
Jaws, Captain Quint, man those fish Inhale that entire spoon, unreal. Nice work guys!
Mike, you are a world-class gentlemen. This story was inspirational front to back. The Good Lord blesses all who proudly speaks His name. Team Old School, as Jim said:”is the best!”. You all are great guys and I love the brotherhood. Live long and the joy will keep coming to everyone on your team.
Thank you sir!!!! You’re too kind!!
I really appreciate your continued support!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍 It was a very special day. 🙏🙏😁❤️
This is definitely a very special video,very heart warming,it shows that fishing is not just catching its about meeting new people and making DREAMS with friends ❤
Thanks Ken!!! I agree entirely brother!!! We are very fortunate to people like this!❤️❤️
Hi Mike,
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and Team Old School for taking Bill on this fishing trip. I don't have the words to express how much it meant to him! He is still talking about it all the time, but as I watched this video it brought back a lot of emotions from the past year. It has been a difficult year to say the least. But with the goodness and grace of our God, the help and support from our amazing family and friends (old and new), we know he will get through it. Bill has always been a hard worker and by far he's the strongest man I know (matter of fact at 61 years old he could still do a one-handed pushup on each arm). Then came the stroke. What a difference one day can make - we were totally devastated! On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the worst, he ended up being about a 4 1/2. He had what they call a progressive Ischemic stroke, which means when he first got to the emergency room he was at a 1 to 1 1/2 but by the end of the day it had progressed to a 4 1/2, and he was completely paralyzed on his right side. Even with that, we feel totally blessed because the doctor told us that a lot of people do not survive that kind of stroke (Bill said God wasn't through with him yet). He stayed in the hospital/rehab facility for over 3 weeks and when he came home he still could not walk or really do much of anything for himself. He worried continuously about the extra work it was putting on me. He said "he just prayed and prayed for God to help him get good enough to be able to take care of his personal needs by himself". After some time he really surprised me when I found him bathing himself - I couldn't believe he managed to get in the tub by himself. Thank you God for answered prayers!! I don't think I have ever seen anybody so determined and work so hard to get better! I remember Bill making us tie his paralyzed arm up on the lawnmower so he could cut the grass. I also remember us both sitting at the kitchen table, one night just a few months ago, and crying because he actually was able to pick up a little bolt with 2 fingers. I've learned we really take a lot for granted!
As he started to regain a little movement, I would hear him say Andi, Lincoln, Titus, Lydia, Steven, that was his way of counting his reps while exercising - Grandkids can give you a lot of motivation!! After weeks had passed I knew something had changed when I heard him say Andi, Lincoln, Titus, Lydia, Steven, Old School. That's when I discovered Bill had found your videos, and they really gave him a boost. Then I'll never forget the night I came home and he told me you had invited him to come to New Jersey and fish with you and Team Old School. He was so excited, like a kid at Christmas. All I could say is "When are you going"? You don't know it, but when Bill told you he was coming, he still couldn't hold a rod and turn the reel handle, but he said he was going to be able to by the time he got there! He worked and worked and I believe he made that goal!
Bill still has a long way to go, but I believe that fishing trip gave him just the boost he needed! He definitely came home with something very special, and I'm not talking about that one-of-a-kind custom rod, although that was very special, I'm talking about the very special, unique friendships he made with an incredible team of people! Thank you again for all you have done for us!
Mike, you and Team Old School are Second to None!!
Love ya, Mean it!!
Wow! What an incredible story. There are so many amazing things to take from that. I’m as close to speechless as I ever get,(and it’s hard to keep me quiet)😆. I’m not a super religious person, but you would have to be blind to not see God in this story. At the time Bill sent me his first “thank you” video I was becoming very frustrated and starting to feel more and more hopeless. The changes that RUclips made were really killing my channel. I am VERY fortunate to be able to make a living this way, but the amount of work I had to do to get to that point was massive. I’m talking about missing mortgage payments, maxing out credit cards and sleeping in my truck at boat ramps. Just when I was starting to see the fruits of my labor, RUclips said “nope”. It got so bad that I would earn around 20 cents an hour on most videos. I was starting to think “why bother”? Nobody is watching these videos anymore. RUclips buries them. Bill’s first video was really like a revelation for me. The view numbers didn’t matter like I thought they did. (Just that 1 view was good enough for me.) Bill’s “thank you” video to us was really what I needed to see at the exact time I saw it. I went from feeling hopeless to hopeful during the 3 minute run time of his video. With each video he sent I felt better and better about getting paid 20 cents an hour. I never knew how powerful a “thank you” could be. Bill is an amazing person and he’s obviously surrounded by an amazing family. That’s very easy to see.
I’m putting a folder together with all of the “thank you messages and emails” I’ve already started getting. A few are from people that were losing the will to fight before hearing his story. A few are from guys that are now looking for people THEY can take fishing. I received an email today from a guy that took 2 guys out this week. One is fighting cancer and the other is fighting alcohol addiction. I have a feeling that Bill’s “thank you” is gonna truly affect a lot of lives. The most powerful thing we can do these days is set an example and Bill set the best with the help of his family. ❤️❤️❤️😁
Got to admit... my eyes may have been leaking a little! Mike... you and your crew are some really great people!!! What a powerful story!
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate your continued support brother!!😁🙏🙏🙏🙏. When he said “there are too many fish to be caught” I 100% knew he was gonna catch em. 😁😁😁
Well done to all involved!
I literally had a smile from beginning to end watching this. Good job guys!
I love hearing that my brother!!! Thanks for your continued support !!!
Well, I think that settles it, you guys are hands down the best fishing team in the world, y'all got the certificates to prove it! Awesome video, Mike, keep up the great work 💪
Ha!! Thanks for your continued support Clay!!! I certainly won’t argue with Bill OR YOU!!!😛😛😛🙏
Hi guys today Nov 22 ,2023 Atlas 1:35 pm i start watching your video about the person who got a stroke and this video inspire me cuz wit my 62 years in life i know-how i find out i have cancer before dat i was one of the best fisherman dat far Rockaway ever saw ,, even in the 90s i start Doing lure dat was called Titos Lure , maybe it dont Went far but even catch Porgy 😆 lol, well guess i am in Colombia living knowing i am italian americanspanish back grounds ,and this video got to my Heart and i am a Loyal suscriberor of u channel please give to people like me and dat gentleman a sign of life thank u Bless you 😊 THANK YOU
I appreciate your comment. If I learned anything from Bill, it’s to fight like hell. That sounds like a good plan for you too! I’m sorry to hear about your cancer. Fight like hell. 👍👍👍❤️
Truely an awesome video and trip. God, fishing, and good people are the cure! Keep it up!!
Thank you!!!! 😊😊😊😊👍🙏
Mike and Team Old School are the best. Giving a special trip to Bill was a joy to watch.
Thank you!!!! I really appreciate your support 🙏🙏👍👍😁
You and your buds are good people Mike! Thank you for making this man’s day!
@@panchopachangas4450 Thanks so much brother! It really was a special day for everyone. Bill’s brother Rusty, told us later on that he doesn’t know how Bill got himself ready for this trip like he did. What an amazing example he had set. He was just tenacious and wasn’t going to miss this trip. When I saw video later on where Bill was at recovery-wise I was seriously speechless. I won’t complain about aches and pains ever again probably. (Hopefully) 😁😁. I appreciate your support brother!! 🙏🙏👍
I love watching this video Mike. Your crew is something else. Bless him and you and the crew. I hope more people can get motivated to be kind.
@@jace6555 thank you so much! Bill is one of a kind and has an amazing family. We weren’t aware at the time, but a year later we spoke with Bill and his brother Rusty. Rusty said that at the time we set a date to fish together Bill was in a VERY weak state. In fact Rusty didn’t think he was going to be strong enough for the trip. Of course I had no idea either, otherwise I would’ve had him wait another 4-5 months or so. Rusty said that what Bill accomplished in such a short amount of time was absolutely amazing. They showed me some videos from just 2-3 months prior to our trip and I almost couldn’t recognize Bill. He couldn’t walk at all unassisted and could barely lift a 2lb dumbbell. Rusty said he was so excited to fish that he took his physical “therapy” up to 10. I knew he went through hell, but I wasn’t aware it was to that degree. Bill’s story made a very strong and positive impact on my life personally. I honestly feel that I got just as much from that trip as Bill. He would say over and over that “there are just too many fish to catch Mike, and I’m gonna get there. I’m telling you, if you look him in the eye when he says that, you just KNOW he is INDEED going to get there. Now I’ve decided to sweep all of the little things that I would worry about right out the door because “there are just to many fish to catch “.
Bill said so. 😁🙏👍. Thanks for your support!!! 🙏🙏
You & Your team are awesome. God bless you all!
Thank you sir!!🙏🙏🙏
I am glad he chose you like we all have. The world would be a better place if we could all fit on your boat sir. Thanks for sharing this experience
Thanks Scott!! You’re too kind sir!!!
🙏🙏🙏. I appreciate your continued support!!
What an awesome story! That guy is such an inspiration! Good for him and I'm happy to see him out there after battling back from his stroke.
He sets a powerful example. We were very fortunate to be a part of Bills story. 😊. Thanks for your support!! 🙏🙏
God bless you all top notch guys.. ❤
There are fisherman and sportsman. You are the epitome of what a sportsman is all about. Bill is an incredibly lucky man surviving that stroke but a true inspection a what it truly means to never give up and hard work pays off. Best video I’ve seen all year and I watch nothing but RUclips videos. Keep up the good work fellas! TOS is second to none 👊
Thanks Jeremy! It really hit me hard too, AND I WAS THERE!
I can’t find the words to explain how incredible this story is!! I watched it several times. I love his attitude and drive. I’m headed to Bill’s channel right now! Thank you Old School Team!
LOVE IT!!! Thank you! 😊😊😊😊😊
Great video, buddy.. it really shows the kindness in you.. I really enjoyed watching this man enjoying himself like a little kid, fishing isn't just catching fish, fishing is making memories and enjoying the outdoors,and I'm sure that this men will never forget this day... much respect brother..
Inspiring others in life is such a honorable pursuit. Inspiring someone to put the effort in to bounce back from a stroke is on a different level. Good on you and your crew.
Thank you Martin!! This REALLY changed my entire point of view. I thought I knew where I was, but I was somewhere else altogether, it is a much better place if that makes sense. 😊👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow that was a really great video. Well done Capt. Mike and the crew for taking care of Bill and his brother. Truly inspiring. Fishing trip of a lifetime for sure.
@@FlathersCreations-bl8xp Thank you brother!! I really appreciate that! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Fantastic video captain! Shows how important your actions and examples can be in life and never know who they are going to affect! Thanks to you and all the old school guys! Catch em up!
Rusty I really appreciate you getting me to NJ and back home safely! We need to do this again! Love ya! Mean it!
Well said!!! We had a total blast with you guys!!! Fall is gonna be insane! 😁😁😁🙏🙏
That’s a solid brother right there!!! 😁😁😁👍
What a awesome video ❤️🙏🏻👊🏻😎🎣🐟Keep doing what you do Guys !!!
Thank you! Will do! 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
What a great video Mike! You are a class act! Good to see how your videos inspire so many people!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate that! I certainly had no idea. I’ll never complain about low view counts again! 👍👍👍👍👍🙏😁😁😁😁
Jaws is the movie :)

I’m not gonna sit here for a half assed autopsy on a FISH!!
And I’ll be damned if I’m gonna see that little Kitner boy SPILL OUT ALL OVER THE DOCK!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Love your videos! I do quite a bit of striper fishing up here in Maine and I plan to put that spoon to good use. I am yet to catch a striper on a jigging spoon.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS How do I go about claiming my prize?
That's Awesome of you for what you and your team did for Bill. I just became a huge fan of Mike Smedley. May God Forever Bless you.
Thank you!!! I really appreciate that!!🙏🙏🙏😁
God bless you Mike. You are such a good man and an inspiration not to mention an outstanding fisherman.
I am happy to report, based on your videos I had Rich build me a jigging rod. It is a beautiful work of art and can’t wait to use it. God Bless my brother.
Thank you a ton brother!!! I really appreciate your support! No two rods are the same from Rise ß8/.
That was absolutely beautiful! It just goes to show how one person can make a difference in another, near or far. You never know how you may touch another while going along, but it's these moments that make the journey so incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this. Keep the phenomenal content coming brother, love it!
Thanks for your continued support brother!! We really appreciate it. You really nailed it right on the head! One man took a few minutes to thank another and POW, look at all the great things that happened. Gratitude plus thoughtfulness equals something quite powerful. Bill’s gratitude affected me and my guys deeply. Reading the comments shows how many others were affected as well. It’s ALL good brother!!! 😊😊😊
You guys are awesome, its great to see you Bill, keep up the good work and Happy Fishin!
Thank you!! I really appreciate the support!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍

"Starboard .... ain't ya watchin it?"
Ha!! I use that quote more than any other🤣.
For 31 years she kept her virginity.
Not a bad record for this vicinity.
Great Job Mike! Might be the best video yet. I fish the Raritan Bay and have seen you out there. If I see you again and you're not surrounded by 100 other boats again, I'll say Hi, as you have certainly helped my Striper success rate!
What's your take on the umbrella rigs? I have had a lot of success using them to help me find some Striper when they're spread out a bit. I am also a big fan of the flutter spoons, they work great once you find them. The bay gets some pretty wild feeding frenzies near dusk in spring and fall, the top water are a blast in those moments.
Thanks brother!! Next time you better pull up and say high. 😆 I’ll have some baits to give you.
It’s a very strange thing! We start fishing totally alone 9 out of 10 times, yet somehow we end up smack dab in the center of the fleet🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️. 🤔🤔🤔🤔😜.
I love U rigs on salt and freshwater. The secret of the Urig is in 8-10ft of water. I don’t troll them like most trollers do. (Setting a course straight along the channel). I get crazy aggressive with them. I set them back far enough to stay at 25-30 ft deep at around 3mph. Then I’ll throttle up to 6-8 mph and run up and over a shallow hump or other shallow contour. In lakes I’ll go right up the points. I throttle up and drive the boat right up a point, hump, or drop-off. Pull up to 8-10 feet deep at 6-8 mph then turn off the point onto deeper water. The bow curve in the line is key. That’s how you control the presentation. I can do that so when im heading back down the point in a U turn, my rigs are still climbing up to shallow water. You will see the big bow in the line. Keep your speed up so the rigs just barely tick the bottom and slow down when you feel the rigs are back over deeper water. I do this all day. It’s unlike any other types of trolling. Some of my biggest freshwater Stripers came of a Urig. I had a 40lber AND a 50lber on the same rig with several straight hooks on the other baits in Tennessee. Make sure you have a rig retriever. In lakes I get snagged regularly, but barely any snags at all in salt. Hope this helps. Keep me posted 👍👍. Thanks again brother!!
