So i was thinking maybe a beach or something a bit more secluded. Any advice would be appreciated thanks guys. Would like to target tailor ect and if I'm lucky have a jewy rod out to.

    Inside trolling advice

    Hey guys after a massively failed attempt to get livies on Thursday. (most likely due to arriving after day break) i was thinking about getting some hard body's to use in the hope of king's bonnies sambo's ect. I was wondering if anyone could suggest specific lures/sizes and also and advice. For example i was thinkin i should prob slowly troll past structures in the harbour e.g wedding cakes. Or does anyone think it would be more effective to just troll around everywhere an cover as much ground as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated even speeds to travel at as boat fishing is extremely new to me only been out max 7 times been land bassed for years. Thanks again guys and i look forward to any help. Also im rockin 13ft run about with 15hp motor an humminbird 100sx fishfinder if that makes any diffrence.

    Regaurds Kev.
