Slow-trolling live bait is a great way to cover water and increase your offshore success. Pacific Coast anglers slow-troll sardines and mackerel to hook up with tuna and dorado, while Atlantic and Gulf coast anglers troll live menhaden, goggle-eyes and blue runners for king mackerel, mahi and sailfish. Try these techniques on any coast.
1. Hearty live baits, capable of swimming while being dragged at 1 to 2 knots without spinning or tangling, are required.
2. After the initial flurry of bites on a trolling stop wanes, nose-hook some baits 150 feet behind the boat and slow-troll a large circle.
3. If you have to, bump the engine in and out of gear to keep your speed down.
4. Keep the reel in free-spool with enough thumb pressure to maintain control of the bait.
5. Be ready to feed the bait back for a few seconds before setting the hook.
Better Boating Tip: Ground Speed Versus Water Speed
Keep in mind when slow-trolling that speed through the water is often more critical than speed over ground (SOG) - the speed that you read on your GPS.
Here’s an example of how SOG differs from speed through the waters. Let’s say your SOG is 3 mph but you’re trolling into a 2 mph current. This means that water is rushing past your lure at 5 mph. If trolling in the same direction as the current, the lure’s speed through the water would be 1 mph.
This can spell the difference between the success and failure of your presentation. A speed through the water that’s too fast can ruin a lure’s action or cause a live bait to spin; too slow and a lure might not perform well at all.
It’s difficult to accurately measure the speed of the current, but you can help compensate by bringing the lure or bait close enough to eyeball under the surface, then adjust your speed until the presentation is swimming the way you want. Repeat this procedure often, as current tends to change with the tide stage, location, your heading and other factors.
