Anxiously awaiting the fall Causeway Trap bite

Nothing like it. Thinking about getting be a small 14' bateau to put my little 9.8 on so I can lead core fish. Never done it before but I know you need a smaller boat that trolls very slow to be successful.

That's what I heard also, but that's a one man rig I would guess so I won't expect and invite.

2 can absolutely fish the ridges In a 14' wide.

My bad.
A buddy learned to fish doing that in the early '70's, good camp stories.

Well not 14' wide. It's the wide version of the 14'er

Which is in inches/feet?

It's 14' long with a 52" beam. About 10" wider than the regular 14'er LINK

Couldn't you just throw some 5 gallon buckets behind a bay boat to slow your roll?

Gotcha, tight, not as svelte as I once was.
Like reading about your adventures, please proceed.

Well. I sold my Kennah Bruh and I was wanting something to troll leadcore. I have a drift sock for my friends 22 Skeeter. Was just wanting something to throw in the back of the truck for a quick trip sometime.

I have access to my FIL's 17' Carolina Skiff too if we ever need something bigger.

Meaux, I have fished lead core before with my 24' bay boat. It can be done I use GPS to tell me how fast I am going and drag 2 5 gallon buckets behind to keep me going slow about 1.3-1.5mph typically we catch fish. However I HATE trolling the causeway would much rather beat the pilings with plastics my preferred way to catch them.
For an earlier post normally they show up around the world series.

I also understand that you can use lead core from a bay boat,i just want to try it in a Jon boat that's all
I do like jigging the poles better as well though.

Sounds like the perfect speed for a yak. What bait do you troll with?

Look at that stylish MF. Hey-do you guys also troll stick baits like bomber long A's? I bet they would kill it trolling. and I want to go too.

I want to troll the bridges also. I have a theory that I want to test. I think the trap needs to be near the bottom and that is why the slow speeds and or lead core lines. I put two downriggers on my bayboat and think I can troll faster and the riggers will keep the traps on the bottom thus eliminating the need for a drift sock, kicker motor, 5 gallon buckets, etc. And when you go that slow with a drift sock out the boat seems to meander all over the place and you have to really pay attention. not conducive to a relaxing troll on the train.
boat will be out of the shop in a week or so.
