[size 1]I haven't done any trolling lately, and am not really an "expert" when it comes to that, but I'm sure if you pulled some small rapala-type plugs on a long line behind a downrigger, or put some behind large flashers close to the ball, you'd get hooked up. I've been fishing Linwood a lot, but there's also a bunch of smaller fish about a mile north of Anvil Draw right now, on the long point just south of Marsh Creek. Linwood is loaded, but I haven't seen the trollers hooking up. The north fish are definitely easier to catch.
Either pull the long lines about 20 feet above the depth you mark fish (70-90'), or pull the flashers as close to the bottom as you can. OR . . . put the ball near the bottom with the flashers right behind it, and stack a long line 20-30 feet higher on the cable. That's what I usually do when I'm sleeping, uh, I mean trolling![sly] [/size]
