livetofish is right. Whatever works. I will answer the questions to the best of my ability.
Question to the pros:
What are the best trolling speeds for:
- Spanish Macs (using spoons)
Answer - Planners, downriggers or trolling weights you can use them all for trolling. 4 mph and up to 9 mph sometimes. It also depends on what piece of equipment your using and how deep you want the spoon to go. Example using a 1oz trolling weight with 20 feet of line out at 9 mph, your spoon will be skipping the surface or having trolling a 6oz weight with 200 feet of line out at 2 mph you will bouncing the bottom.
Snag!!!! I will call you and finish this but you get the point.
- King Macs (blue runners or spoons)
Answer - Trolling spoons and hardbait or jigs is a completely different ballgame then live bait. Example trolling a livebait your most likely going to bump troll and if you using a trolling weight instead of a downrigger or planer the trolling weight should have a keel on it. I will call you and finish this.
- Channel Grouper (planers with artificial)
Answer - Something like a Manns stretch is the easiest way to do it. Downriggers with plastic tail jigs like bubba's (Vance Tice's old jig comapny) is the most effective I will call you on this!
Please let me know in MPH or Knots, not RPM. My gauge is off but my GPS shows speed.
Boy I type slow and I have to call you anyway! There is so much more that I can tell you faster then I can type.
