Hey guys, love your forum.
Every year (late june or early july) we trailer our 25 ft. motorsailor out from Phoenix and spend a week in your beautiful waters. We launch out of MDR and sail or motor out to Catalina. On the way I usually troll a line (50#) out back (about 50 yrds) in hopes of catching something on the way. So far no luck on the trolling. This year I have invested in a downrigger to get the lure deeper. For lures I have been using cedar plugs and squid lures. Not looking for any specific fish, just something tasty. Although snagging a YT would be nice.
My question is what am I doing wrong? Any sugestions on modifications to my rig? I would like to stay with lures rather than fresh bait but would like opinions one way or the other.
Can anyone help a zonie out?
Thanks
Eric in Phoenix
