Anyone Fish Multiple Poles at the same time?

It doesn't get really tricky until you have 2 bait rods, a downrigger camera and a Sabiki or squid jig going at the same time.

For you perhaps, LOL.

Glad you asked as I was wondering the same thing. I troll 2 out in NP and DP but likelihood of catching big fish are slim in those areas. But now that I am hitting LJ for the first time this Sunday for a real chance at big fish, now I just thought 2 lines in water increase chance as fish may be on top or down below. Guess I will learn while out and hope for the best!

Love double trolling, double the %. Extended Scottys keep my knees from hitting as well!

I've just recently started to do it. In AZ, you have to pay extra for a two pole stamp, and since I tourney fished most of the time, I never did it.

Now, I've figured you might as well have one line in the water at all times, so I'll "troll" a reaction bait behind me while I power fish shoreline structure and cover. So far, so good....

Keep moving! drift fishing is guaranteed to get you a mess, trolling 2 lines works well with a flyline out around 40 yards and a Carolina rig 20-30 yds out.

I drift and troll with two rods all the time. It isn't hard.

This! As soon as you stop moving you let the bait swim freely and create tangles.
