well ash, you know that i love trolling. if trolling is too passive for some, perhaps they're doing something wrong. as fishley said, its hard work to troll right. at the end of a day of hard trolling im worn out. that said, jigging is tough too- im not trying to demean that method at all. there is just something about setting the trap with my downriggers that i love. i take offense to guys that say that the fish hook themselves while trolling. some do, as some do jigging as well. ive found that to be as consistent, and productive as possible, you need to be very focused while trolling. i think its just preference. i had 50 fish plus days at the berry this year. i had great days on the gorge and deer creek too. but, jiggers had those kind of days too. to each his own i suppose. trolling sure is getting expensive for me though! (i cant wait to get a digi troll downrigger!)
