What about slow trolling live baits on the Solo? Any luck doing that? or is it too much of a PITA to kick the engine in and out of gear to keep from going too fast ? |
I have been, Drifting a live Mac, slow trolling (1.5-3 mph) a live Mac, Yoyoing lures, trolling lures for most trips. All should get reactions but it's been weird for some time to know you are in the area, see great marks and reports, but no reward many trips. Then boom, "you were in the right place at the right time", covered many of the same areas on every trip. The other hook was in his lip, the larger VMC 4X hook I had put on the DTX 100 came off at the moment I gaffed the Yellowtail. I now have replaced the original circle rings with slightly larger and stronger ones, they had stretched with all the hard pulling.
