: Hey John, last three times I've trolled a hand line I didn't catch anything.
: What're you using for bait?

Don't know about John, but I've never used bait - just a lure. I've
caught most with one I found on a beach in the West of Ireland - now
that really is free food :-) I trail about 7 metres of line behind the
boat and paddle real fast if it gets shallow ... Seemed to pull Pollack
out of the water in a few minutes on our trip to Lofoten. Worked from
static, too - looked down into the water to see four just circling
around underneath me and dropped the line down, jerked it a couple
of times and pulled out dinner. Friends seem to have equal success
with Mackerel in the UK, and we also got Codling in Lofoten. Also
works a treat if you need some seaweed in a hurry :-(

Hmm, this is a little off-topic ... caught this one when we stopped
for a minute or two to work out why we weren't being whisked along
by the tide as much as we expected, just dropped the line and drifted.
When we set off again, there seemed to be more pull on the line than
I expected :-)
