So for definition purposes, what are we considering "skill"? ... Motoring over and marking fish, swinging back over and setting anchor on top of said marks then breaking garbage bags full of clams on top of them to trick them to eat the one you impaled on the hook?... Unless your fly casting or plugging
From a jetty.... Be nice bro, catching is catching.... Fishing is trying to catch... The bay is probably different than the ocean, but some of my favorite time is trolling if we can't find bunks...don't hate what ya can't can't appreciate... Love ya man

Ok bash on!!! I can take it. I didn't say it doesn't work I said it requires no skill set. No reel fishing expertise and how many hooks are you using? Blah blah blah the fish don't have a chance. I don't call that a sport I call it murder. bash on brothers and sisters state your opinions all are welcome including those who say I'm dead wrong.

Really! There are days that are so tough in June that a few big bass on spoons save the day. Plenty of skill involved in wire line bunker spooning. I guess you are the ultimate expert Joey. I guess if you catch a 250 big eye on the troll it doesn't require any skill. I guess if your trolling giants 400 yards back there is no skill required. As far as sport goes some guys don't get to fish three times a week and would be more than happy to troll some nice bass. Some guys travel from out of state and bring money to our economy and if you can't get them on bait then screw it??? They want to take home fish. Ever troll the Sandy Hook rip at 3am? No skill involved there! You would be aground lol This is not a bashing just fun. Capt. Coles from the Janet C and Capt Otto Reut where some of the best in Jersey at trolling bass and where famous. Joe Julian spent years perfecting his bunker spoons. Tony Maja one of the best out of Staten Island has a hell of a spoon on the market. He and others that are site sponsors would tend to disagree with you. So we agree that trolling is not the most exciting way to catch bass but productive. If you think there is no skill involved I know many capts. that would wager a good buck they would out fish you trolling hands down. I hope you have a good season and do not dare to troll lol For the rest of you that might want some advice I am willing to give it and there bare also some other capts. that don't might sharing.
