Yes - trolling 4-5 rigs behind the 14 McKee in 1.5-4' water. Its like trolling offshore - if all of them go off, its a real cluster! Catch 1/3 on drops backs, just like Sailfishing.

That's wild !!! I think next year I'll have to get a smaller boat.
Been looking at a Carolina Skiff 19' with 60hp yamaha. A friend had one and I loved the shallow flat bottom.

McKee 14 or a Whaler 13 are perfect - you'll be amazed where you can go. I run my (wife's) McKee 5 miles offshore to the very end of the jetties and fish ... everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, but the boat is solid - and runs almost 50mph.

We have a "harness" to tow it behind the F32 for fishing get-away weekends (we were going this weekend, but the man is coming to clean my bummm).
