Hello Big Daddy,

To jig at that time you won't have to go far at all. You may only have to go a mile or less. To troll you will need to go farther. Most guys troll North of the reefs. A can to D can and the water to the north of that line is very popular for big fish. I would say 5 to 8 mile runs for trolling. Obviously that is a very general idea. If you go out of Fenwick marina which I do, straight out 4 to 5 miles is A can. To the east from there is D can. Sometimes guys will troll a line from D to E, F, etc.. North of Niagra reef (D can area) is about an 8 mile run from Fenwick on a NE heading. It is very popular for the trollers. Much deeper water than the reefs.
