Trojan Boat Forum

My winter work includes hopefully selling the boat, and redoing the swim platform coring.

Hopefully my only winter agenda is fishing, through December 31st.

How are those outriggers working for you????? I sure wish I could put some on my Tri

Ron

Ron, I use planer boards. I have out riggers but they can't compare to how far outside of the boat and how many more lines I can troll with. I store my riggers and don't use them. I usually run 5-6 lines from each planer line.

I ran 18 rods this past weekend but have run up to 26.

Planer boards are fine unless your in a tight group a boats , we don't use them Much down here .( I never have) A charter boat from up your way uses them down here off VB in the trophy season kind of screws things up ( when in Rome ) .

I have never used them and rarely use the out riggers for stripers


I am happy with 4-6 lines

Yes Paul, agreed. Depends on where and how you fish.
I have never had a problem other than bouncing my boards off a few steel channel bouys once or twice...

I can only run that many lines with a crew. Otherwise for a few friends we may run 6-8.

Better then bouncing the boat off the bouys
