Anyone ever troll the marsh for specks?

We have done something similar in Hopedale, granted this was behind a kayak. Trolled some plastics under a cork about 2-3 feet. Some days it worked great, others not so much. Probably doesn't help ya much but good luck.

I've never done this, but let us know how it works. I don't see why it wouldn't catch at least a few.

Yeah if I can catch 5-10 it will be a success. The lake is pretty clean for the most part. Might even drag them in the main canal on the way there.

I used to do it in Reggio/Delacroix. In the winter, it worked well in the pipelines. Sometimes, I used soft plastics on the jighead. Other times, I'd use Mirrolure 52M. Also, any time of the year, I would troll/drift right across small bays such as Lake Amadee. I picked up trout and flounder doing this. This was always with soft plastics on a jighead.

Someone mentioned grass. That IS a problem in some areas, and is a problem in Delacroix/Reggio now...thanks to siltation since Katrina in the pipelines, making them more shallow. They used to be an even 7' pretty much all the way. Some are now silted in to the point they aren't navigable. Also, with the diversion of freshwater introducing freshwater grasses all these years, the grass is a bigger problem than it was back then.

But yes...you can definitely troll anywhere there is enough water, and lack of grass/debris.

Exactly. NEVER anchor in Reggio...ever.
