I have found that a variety lures resembling mullet or herring work well trolling
for many species.  I usually use a floating silver rapala or a "rubber" fish.  I
have also had excellent luck with surface minnow lures for blue fish.  I have
given up my pole and reel for a hand line.  I use a heavy braided line so I can
get a better grip and use a swivel and an appropriate leader. I simply put the
line under my deck bungie and paddle!  To see exactly what I use vist my web

    Power your boat with carbohydrates,
