Re: Trolling in the bay's
Trolling in phb is quite easy and succesful.
You dont need a electric .
Ive done it on both the electric and motor at abt 4kms.
Stump jumpers go good but I have more success on xraps
Naturally getting the lure close to the bottom is a key.
Down riggers are handy for this.....I just use tbe trout ones....work fine
Cheers bm

Re: Trolling in the bay's
I troll surface lures for salmon couta and pike down the south end of westernport with reasonable success. I always have 2 rods rigged with lures just in case. Always alot of bird activity down there.
Also troll around the rocky shores of phillip island and get plenty of pike.
Kids love seeing the massive hits and fish jumping too

Re: Trolling in the bay's
downriggers are probably the best option to go deep.
