Default LL'ing or trolling on Sunday?????

What to do.

Haven't been out in a few weeks, just wondering which method would increase my odds.

Sounds like the spot are still around.

Plan A - Try for some spot but only for ?? minutes. Gonna have to pop for some BW; fishbites won't cut it now. If successful then LL.

Plan B - Troll until you see some birds, then grab the lighter sticks.

I went Tuesday - surprised to catch roughly 30 Spot - 100 feet SW of Hacketts green can. Heard others catching near the bridge.

We did troll for a short time but found many crab pots in 20 to 30 feet off the Severn.

Right now - it pays to have trolling , livelining as well as LTJ rods rigged and play the hand you are dealt.

If you troll - Tony #15 are good - Blues are still around to bite off shads.

Plan C - Troll until you see a bunch of boats jigging under working birds, and troll through the middle of them.

Thanks for the reply's, I figured I would have to keep my options open.

Anyone have luck trolling smaller crippled Alewife's, gold or silver. The 5" or 6" size.

I love Marty's response...Sounds like it makes the most sense to me....I would stick with light tackle...Get the ability to jig and to LT troll....Just me the troll/jog has been great for the last couple of weeks....

I know Tony's are the favorite of many here but chartruese swim shads..3" and 5" as well as buck tails dressed with BKD's have been good for me...Heck just the other night Spot landed that one about 20" with a rattle trap in about 4' of water....More than anything I think its the spot right now, not the tackle....

Good luck...
