Hey folks, I've been a lurker on here for a bit but now trying to get into this long lining that I see folks doing.

I have a couple of questions about long lining. I'm not looking for folks to tell me where, when and what lure to use at all. just some good ole advice.

I have a Bullet 21XD which is 21'10" without the motor. Is this boat too long to long line from the front solo?

I tried last weekend on lake Sinclair and didn't get a bite. I was using rod holders on the front of the boat and trolling at a slow speed with a 12', 10' and shorter 6' rods out each side. I was rigged with 2, 1/16oz jigs on 6lb line. Jigs tied about a foot to 1 to 1 and 1/2 foot apart. I trolled in water that was from 20 to 8 foot of water.

I did manage to get good largemouth off of a point in about 10 foot of water,(that was fun on a 10' limber pole) but no crappie.

My technique was to basically get the boat going straight and the cast each rod out as far as I could throw it. They where a bit behind the boat. I didn't let any extra line out. I didn't have any issues so much with crossed lines but did hang up a time or two in the shallower water. (to be expected I recon)

My basic question is....Is it not productive to long line from the front when solo. If it is productive what am I doing wrong. weather was great and I did put the holders away and cought several largemouth in 6 - 8 foot of water.

I'm heading back out in the am and was just looking for some pointers.

Thanks for the advice.
