Hello, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I live in southern Maryland, and generally fish out of the Patuxent River. The past couple of weeks I have tried to do some trolling, and haven't had to much luck. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how is should set up my lines, and where some of the "hot spots" in the area are. I have a 23 foot boat with an 8 foot beam, and not planer boards. So far I've been trolling umbrellas and tandem parachutes, and I'm trying to keep them in about 25 to 35 feet of water. I run braid on my trolling rods, and for the tandems I've been figuring about 10' of depth for 100' of line out, and 5' of depth for 4 oz. of weight. For the umbrellas I've been told on the same line they get about 8' of depth for 100' of line out, 5' of depth for 4 oz. I really appreciate any help, because while I love a beautiful day out on the bay, it's easier to justify the time invested to my GF when I bring home some nice fillets!
