Success with storms

[Dr.Ed]

I'm flattered so many of you are on this website. It's become a clinic where amateurs and pros can exchange info for the common cause. I learned a long time ago you don't learn very much while you are talking so as soon as the motor turns over, I put my radio in scanner mode and listen intently as I head out. I keep preconceived ideas to a minimum. If I get positive info I may slide over in that direction but never too close out of respect. If a certain
presentation is working for someone, I would be a fool not to try it. To answer some questions, I use 17# green Trilene XT. If I"m running 4 boards and haven't heard any dropback zones, one each at 25', 30', 35' and 40' is a start. If I pick up a fish at one of those distances, the leads will be adjusted accordingly. After 30 minutes without a bite, I will drop the lures back 5-10 ft. more on each pole and if another 30 minutes of silence, I will let out more line. If another half hour goes by and the cooler is not being filled WE MOVE!
I run slow "S" turns at 1.8 to 2.0 mph usually with the wind. Upon catching fish on either the slow side or fast side of the boat, speed is adjusted to try and match what's working. Tomorrow I will start with 800 series Reef Runner Red Hot Tiger and others. I'll let you know what's working. Keep listening.
