So thanks to help from people here, We now have our new boat setup with some simple rodholders on the back for trolling. We've been able to troll a few area's and had decent luck with crankbaits- although it does seem a little slow at times.

Whats next to try to improve our success?

Seems to me if we do find an area that appears to be holding fish, you can't really keep the crankbaits in it very long. Would it be better to troll and try to mark spots, then return and jig them?


Any other suggestions on ways to improve our success- Either still using cranks, or a different method are very welcomed!
