Default newbie question: trolling without a kicker

I'm running an inboard 5L V8 merCruiser. I'll be trolling on the east side
of Vancouver Island for Salmon. What about keeping the trim way up too?

Hi, I just bought my first boat and I can't afford a kicker right now. Is

it
possible/worthwhile to troll without a kicker?

What kind of engine do you have? If it is a 2 stroke the answer is

probably no.
A 4 stroke will chug around at 1200-1500 RPM all day, no smoke, no fouled
plugs.
