Boats
targeting king salmon using standard trolling methods usually like to
target a specific area. Typically when a school of kings is located we
tend to troll that specific area in short, back-and-forth sweeps or attack
it from various angles. However, when conditions are not ideal, i.e. wind,
waves and current, the straight line troll can be more effective. When
you targeted a school of kings using the back-and-forth sweep method,
how many instances did the bites only happen going one direction? Typically
the one direction bite occurs when conditions are not ideal.
This
is the time when the straight line troll shines. The diagram above conceptually
displays the straight line troll concept. The concept revolves around
the theory that there are additional schools of kings that exist along
a macro trolling path. Instead of turning around and targeting the school
of kings that you recently had success with, continue a straight line
troll to another school of kings. Be very cognize of the direction and
speed that was previously producing bites.
In
our experience, Team Untouchable has caught many limits by executing just
one long straight line troll.
