All what I can tell you is I spent 3hrs trolling open water in a few areas that have produced in the past without 1 bite & caught about 15 in the last hr of a afternoon outing on the banks. I'm about as hard-headed as they come to change tactics from long lining, but do try to not make the same mistake twice, just was backing up what Speckanator had heard.
