            Most of the year in South Florida it is too hot to wear my favorite IH gear (too hot for pants most days..), but it does allow for some other activities.  This is a late-season female (cow) dolphin caught off shore of Miami:

                    Much love and respect!  😃  Just thought that with fishing down to a standstill, we need to get the trolling where we can.

                          Sometimes the long cast and slow retrieve is the best way to catch fish.

                              OK, I'll chip in. Trolling is not really fishing, is it?

                                Just another technique in trying to hook a big one.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Here’s to happier times and getting your feet wet.  🙂

                                  When i was fishing with a buddy in Missouri he introduced me to "Strolling". Trolling isn't allowed in tournaments down there, but you need to let out a ton of line because the fish swim so deep due to extremely clear water, that you can't get down there effectively with casting.

                                  instead of a traditional troll, you open your drag and drive the boat away from your lure for a hundred yards or so, stop the boat, close your bail and reel in.

                                  There you have it… Strolling.

                                    I’ve done that before, but didn’t know that it had a name.  Personally, I’m not a fan of trolling and find it extremely boring.  However, I’ve caught many salmon using it (deep water) and it has it’s time and place.

                                    I would rather active fish, work an area, and move on if it’s not productive.  Fishing is a great exercise in technique, bait selection, and pure dumb luck that when it works the rewards are great.  Always learning and most of the time enjoying a great way of being outside.

                                            That's really cool looking because it almost appears translucent. Like the Predator or something.
