Trolling Speed, again
Posted: Jan 6th, '07, 19:11
Thanks for the discussion about slowing down for trolling. My problem is that I want the best at top and bottom end. My Cummins 6BTA's idle around 700 because below that they just don't sound good. Therefore, with one engine forward, I'm doing about 4 knots. I want the most efficient props because we travel a very long ways to get to good fishing grounds. When we find floating kelp paddies or bait balls, we like to slow troll live sardines or mackeral at around 2 knots or even less. Any faster and they are skipping and spinning. The best suggestion that I'm going to try is the "Buggy Bags" as a trolling sea anchor. Thanks for the info.
