9/30/2014 3:16:00 PMI read that a lot. Last serious effort out on the penninsula was the 9 hits, 4 fish, get skunked disaster, all at about 1.7 mph. It is true that you can't troll too fast for silvers, but it is hardly evidenced in my experience that going slow prevents hits. If I recall, 45 degrees sounds about what we generally do.

9/30/2014 5:06:00 PMDon't be afraid to stretch that cable out there. The cable (or braid) goes down in a teardrop, the closer it gets to the ball the steeper the cable actually is. Even though it seems like the gear is running pretty shallow it really isn't. Two of us got our 4 today, just filed a report. .
