Ok. I should be more specific. Trolling with squid rigs in Cape Cod Bay.
My Egg, at idle with both engines in gear, trolled at almost 7 kts. Never
got a hit.

I was told by the local "experts" that I was trolling too fast. Put one
engine in neutral the next time out and "Bam", within 10 minutes hooked up.

Trolling speed was just over 3 kts.


I don't doubt it - I've heard that before.

Never worked for me. Then again, I'm not much for trolling - I prefer
drifting instead.
