Speed and depth! Speed and depth! Trolling is definitely a learning curve but the 1st priority is making sure your offering is at the proper depth in the water column. There are a ton of trolling charts out there that will give you a good idea of how deep 1oz runs with X amount of line out, 2oz runs, leadcore, etc. Once you have that dialed in, experiment with different speeds. Use a GPS, as a lot of times the difference of .2-.3 mph can determine whether you hook up or not. Maintaining a constant speed while paddling is tough but can be done. Once you feel comfortable with that, you will start buying planer boards, line counter rod/reels and downriggers
