Headed down in 3 weeks. Just trying to get an idea of what is being used for light trolling, Mostly looking for catch and release fun fishing. What about shallower water, anyone doing any? Would not be eating any shallow water fish but a tuna or such might make it to the plate.

Rita, it's been decades since I trolled along the shoreline but this seems to be popular for improving the chances for a"catch and release" I doubt it will result in a "keeper" Trolling Lure But seriously, we bought a pack of misc trolling lures for catching fish, the one that worked the best had a green skirt and tapered green lead head. They were off-brand baits came in a pack already rigged. Last trip we tried an umbrella rig with plastic squid, no luck. I'll try to find a pic and add it later. Cheers, Tony

Thanks Tony, my hubby is into fishing for the challenge and relaxation, not to keep fish..Just trying to keep him entertained while I snorkel and swim.

We used these our last trip about 3 weeks ago. We caught two yellow fin tuna, two mackerel and several barracudas. All of them worked and there didn't seem to be a preference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-NEW-Rigged-Sq...=item58b8df0d1b http://www.ebay.com/itm/Williamson-Wahoo...=item5420834f28If you get a mooring at Diamond Cay throw a few scraps of bacon, chicken, anything in the water behind the boat. There are a bunch small 2-3' sharks (sand sharks or similar harmless) that hide out under you boat. Get them in a nice feeding frenzy.

sail445 said: Are you sure they're sharks and not Remoras? Remoras love to hang out under the boats and wait for scraps of food or someone flushing the head. You might be right. We didn't try to catch any and didn't get that good of a look at them.

Rita: i used a lure from a guy who makes them in Texas. You can visit and buy them on-line at www.chickenboylures.com He's a great guy and makes really good soft plastics. That's all i used and caught tons of fish. Harley
