trolling is easy: I use off shore planner boards, about $25.00 each. I use worn harnesses, which I make myself. They are about 5 inches long with colored beads, spinner, a single hook with a trebel hook. I use a 3/4 oz bell sinker about a foot above the harness. Locate the fish. 25 ft. down, run your line 100 ft. out before you attach the board. Let the line out far enough so the board tracks out to the side of your boat. Trolling speed is crucial, only 05 mph. When you have a fish on, the board will race to the back of the boat. Becareful when taking the board off as you do not want any slack in the line. There are right and left side boards.
