Dropshot Fishing Boat Docks for Dinner + PB Caught! (in WEIRD Way)

[@FishinAccomplished]

Nice job securing that PB! It’s pretty nuts how many catfish you were getting, I’ve never seen them stacked up like that before!

Thanks man! Yeah there’s not much structure in this particular lake other than the boat docks, and these smaller ones seem to set up on them quite a bit. It’s fun to figure out which ones they like.

Hi, I am new to trolling. Just wanted to know how you determine how much line goes out when you are trolling say in 15 ft of water? Also, what type of kayak and depth finder are you using?

[@rem_fishing]

Here I’m managing that the easy way, I’m just using a crank bait that has a fixed diving depth range of 8-12 ft (I believe). The amount of line out and the boat speed will affect the depth slightly, but not very much - It’s pretty predetermined by the design of the lure. They only make them to get down so far though, 20ish feet or so. If you wanted to troll something else like a spoon or a baited hook you’d have to do a little math and consider the amount of line out, the amount of weight you’re using, and your speed. And even then you’ll have to adjust for real world variables. Dipsy divers are a pretty simple way to get lures down to deeper depths for trolling as well. I can’t really give a complete answer, you’ll have to do some more research but hopefully that helps to start!

@@rem_fishing Thanks for that reply! Ill look to purchase a fixed depth crank bait! I still wanted to know what kayak you use and what depth finder? Just to get an idea of what's out there. Thanks.
