Trolling? Sucks. That is my thinking.

Find fish - get on top of them and catch them.

A hellbender and petspoon is the best combination to locate fish.
Sonar always work but while you are reading the graph if you want to troll for fish thats the best way I know.
If you have kids in the boat you can't beat it.
We have never gone to a lake that it didn't work.
Trolling only sucks to someone cause they don't want you to do it.

Never troll through a school or get to close to a slabber cause then you just made them mad about their badluck and you made yourself them their excuse for not catching fish while you are. It's to easy to show em but it's real hard to get that dead stick out of their hands. They somehow pull up on the fish with their motor running and believe you scared a fish off that was 20 foot deep by trolling.
They do catch bigger fish but you will catch more and sometimes a bigger one will hit you trolling.

This is probably the funniest post I have ever read. Good one, but seriously, you're joking right? Right? I mean, you're saying that you will catch more sand bass trolling than slabbing? Trolling is a good way to catch fish and does have a time and place, but it does not catch more fish than slabs. And, you don't need a thousand dollars worth of electronics, or spend twice the amount for fuel, to catch fish.

However, I do believe fastguy said that the only way to catch sand bass at Cedar Creek is to troll for them


That only applies when they are not stacked up. Why troll when you can drop anything straight down and catch a fish. So no I'am not joking about catching more fish trolling when they are scattered off the humps. And yes when they are there slabbing or live bait or a beer can top will catch more than trolling.
I'am quit certain just by reading fastguys posts that if the only thing you could use to catch a fish on a certain day was trolling he would be home getting ready for the next day.

No. I do not want a wager on such a silly thing. Somehow you think I'am saying trolling always catches more fish and I never said that. I only meant it in the way that when you are sitting on the hump and can't catch one on every cast and the trollers are pulling them in it is somehow the trollers fault the fish are not stacked up waiting on a slab. Which this thought of mine only applies when I cant catch em slabbin I might as well troll em. As I said earlier there is no reason to troll a boat show on the water where every boat is pulling them in.
