Longlining= lines out the back of the boat with light weight jig/bait.
Tight line is that like down lines , carolina rig straight down from the rod tip?
Pushing, is that just lines out the front trolling with a carolina rigged bait?
Thanks in advance
Longlining...a set speed from the trolling motor (.6 mph or faster) pulling jigs or cranks way behind the boat (usually, but I have pulled them just a short piece from the boat to keep 'em shallow too) from the sides or the back of the boat
Tightlining....lines verticle whether anchored or slowly drifting.
Pushing...to me is the same as spider rigging. A set up with 6 or more long poles fan casted around the front of the boat. My rendition of spider rigging is moving very slow, "bumping" along. Usually under .4 mph.
