Longlining....
I am a believer in long lining, a small gold spoon; maybe a Lil Cleo or a Superduper 1/4 oz to 2/5 oz. About a hundred to a hundred and fifty feet behind the boat with no weight just the lure. Slow troll with the typical s-turns and speed up and slow downs.. It has been very effective for me in my neck of the woods. Oregon is full of USACE flood control res. and it is dynamite. I use a spinning rod with 6# braided line, along with about a 20 foot 6 # mono leader from the main line to a swivel and then another 4 feet of mono for the stretch and then the lure, I like to troll about 1 to 1.5 mph in the summer and a bit slower in the winter. I use shrimp oil for scent mainly to cover the human scent...another hint I have learned over the years is keep the sun to your back or the side...seems like the fish don't like to look up into the sun. Tight lines to you.
