Trolling For Success - 06/04/08 05:49 PM
I'm brand new to the TFF and to the Gulf, but have been fishing for years on the SC coast.
I just purchased a new boat and I'm anxious to get on the fish. First outing in the salt water is taking place this weekend. I'll be in a Triton 225CC, with T-Top, 14'' draw, and a 200 hpdi.
Now to the questions: I'm an avid trout / spot tail (that's an East coast mannerism for Redfish that I have stumped a few TX fishermen with) fisherman, but I would like to explore the wild world of trolling. I'm not ready for the big water so I figured you good folks could set me up with a good location, fishing technique and equipment so I can catch some Mackeral, Cobia, Wahoo, Cuda or anything else that will hit a trolling rig.
Plan to put in at the Texas City Dike and head toward the Jetties, make the circle across in front of the beach and back into the San Luis pass. All help and comments appreciated!
