Never been and do not have any deep water equipment (downriggers etc). No planar boards.
I do have cleos and some hard baits that will swim at 20ft.
I am heading out at 6am for a few hours around darlington.
Any tips on making the most of what I have?
So no one had any tips for a beginner with a lack of equipment?
went at 7am, out for 4 hours, trolled at 3mph with deep diving crank baits, guessed at the depths for the lures, lost 2 very quickly after they hit but think I know the salmon/trolling error, caught 3 salmon....5lb, 5lb, 10lb. no pics.
Everyone else was using down riggers but only one guy faired better.
In all I think it was pretty good, could have landed a couple more and maybe hooked a bit more with some trolling knowledge.
