tandem rigs with parachutes or bucktails. Only way to go.

Of course, if you did more than 'drift fishing' within twelve feet of the
marina, you'd know that.
I single rig parachute rigs - very seldom use the spreaders although I
have a full set of them from 6 inch to 24 inch and in several
configurations.

Have you ever tried tandem parachute rigs? In the MD portion of the bay, no
more than two hooked lures can be used on one line. A tandem rig allows the
use of two lures.

I'd not try a Robalo on a tandem, as Harry suggested, because the Robalos
move around way too much. You'd have one tangled mess before the lures were
20 yards from the boat.



I wouldn't put a Robalo on a tandem, either. Far too heavy for striper
trolling. I use a Rapala.

And I didn't say a tandem rig. I said hooked in tandem to a three way
swivel. Works fine, no tangles. The Rapala goes deep and pulls the soft
plastic down, but both baits stay away from each other. I troll two such
lines successfully, and have caught stripers on the Rapala and on the
soft plastic. No need for heavy line, either.

There's the smart way...and then there is the army way.

Harry, I don't believe you.

I say that because of your dismal history.

And because you are always telling us how you *don't* troll (except here,
of course).

You're just too easy, Harry.

I'll tell you, Mr. Swallow, I don't give a crap what you believe or
don't believe. It doesn't matter to me or the rest of the world.

I don't like to troll for fish very often, not in the Bay, at least.
It's too mindless of an activity for me. But I sure it suits you just fine.

Just because I don't have much use for striper trolling doesn't mean I
don't know how to do it.

Harry, when you say, " I troll two such lines successfully, and have caught

were saying you troll. Of course, that can't be right because you've said
for years that you *don't* troll.

Is it just more expedient to lie as you go along?

You are far too easy.

One more time, stupid. Trolling in the bay is not one of my favorite
activities, but I do engage it in occasionally.

Now, are you spitting or swallowing?
