To my surprise, I caught 2 or 3 out of the 12 I kept on them. Think I may be figuring it out.
One thing I did, I put the clickers on those 2 reels on, and backed off the drag so that when a fish hit it pulled line. That way I didn’t really have to watch them. Pick up a bite, tighten the drag and turn clicker off. I’m fishing 8 rods total by myself, so I have enough to watch allready lol.
And no I’m not on the big 4, there is no pole limit where I fish. Thinking of adding a couple more to the mix.

I always push from the front with great success, so I thought I'd try it from the back. So far, it's a bust. The fish I'm catching now are about 14' down. I think maybe the boat is spooking them. Maybe when the fish get deeper it'll work better. Maybe not. I can't imagine watching 8 poles! 4 is a challenge for me.
