Trolling?
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2022 4:33 pm
Hi,
I currently fish Mallets Bay and St Albans Bay off of my 17ft boat. At one point it had downriggers and a trolling motor but sadly those were long gone before I got into fishing. I have been mainly fishing for smallmouth, largemouth, pike, and perch with pretty good success (for me at least!), but I am looking to get into fishing for lakers, salmon, and walleye. I have read through many forum posts and tried trolling a little bit to my equipment's best ability. Unfortunately the slowest I can go is about 3 MPH before my engine stalls out on me and as I said earlier I do not have downriggers. I would love to try out some trolling with someone who has the right equipment before I shell out a lot of money. I would also love to pick your brain on technique, what equipment is worth it and where to best spend my money. I can bring food and drinks and help out with gas.
Additionally I am looking for someone to join me on weeknights after work or on weekends on my boat. I mainly fish St Albans Bay around Ball island this time of year but I would be open to new places and would love to see what other people are doing. I am based out of South Burlington and can generally make it to Apple Island Marina by 6PM on weekdays and I shoot for 12pm to dark on the weekends.
