Dan Mateo and Mark Evans trolled Kastmasters and Powerbait, the shallowest we’ve heard this fall, only 10ft down, and they caught a double limit of...

Fishing has been quite good for trollers

Fishing has been quite good for trollers. Pikes pt & out from the marina and the east side up to miners point producing the most numbers.
