Trolling for trout

January 16, 2011, 03:21 PM

Im thinking about trying to slow troll some crankbaits and rattle traps for trout around the deeper parts of the bay. Im thinking the rattle traps and crank baits would trigger reaction strikes from the sluggish trout. Has anyone done this or heard anything about it?

there's a few folks that do it down the main canal at Jam Beach-they use rattletraps and shrimptails-seen use spec rigs too.

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

I would say anything is worth a try. At least you will be on the water fishing.
