Hey crappie52 we were staying at JR's on Tue. thru Thur. and went out with one of there guides on Wed. We were in a black Stratos. Those were definetly some fat fish. My Dad caught a few at Nolin this week and was complaining about how small a 10 inch fish was here. Steve, when we say long line trolling, we are using 1/32 or 1/16 oz jigs and will make a cast out from the boat and lock the bale and put them in rod holders and pull them behind the boat. We used different length poles to space out the rods so they didn't get tangled. The speed of the trolling motor determines how deep the jigs are. You have to figure out how fast the fish want them and how deep they are. It's pretty simple and it puts a lot of fish in the boat. Hope this explains it for you. Bryan
