I fish in the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. area. I see references to slow trolling. What speed is used for this? I this speed good for, say, dolphin? What other species will this speed work for? Thanks.
I put my lure ina dah water and adjust my trolling speed to where the lure is swimming just the way I want it to.
If’n yer boat won’t troll slow enough., troll backwards.
Special troll planes are availabel, too. Mybe a special trolling motor?
Drag a sea anchor or a plastic bucket.
What was the question, again?
If you want to go slower, try trolling with a drift sock!!
Here in Hawaii, anyone trolling lures 5 knots or under is trolling kinda slow. Anything over 9 knots is kinda fast. Don’t know about Florida but thought I’d give you actual speeds.
What lures are you pulling most of the time Mikey or are you using live bait as well?

We fish for Dorado in Mexico a good deal of the time and troll speed will vary from 5.5 to 8 knots or so depending on sea conditions.
