Hi, my name is Brittain Shak, and I'm captain of the Dogghouse. One of the things that is pretty vital to, uh, trolling to me, in order to get a spread, to get my bait spread out covering as much of the water column as possible, is my Outriggers. These, um, Outriggers that are sticking up right now, once we get out to the fishing grounds, we lay the riggers down so they're only as wide as the boat right now.

But when you lay them down, they give you anywhere from 10 to 25 ft of spread on each particular side of your boat. What ends up happening is you run your bait line from your reel up through these clips and then pop the clip in, run your clip up while you're letting your line out. That's going to give you a spread down either side of the boat.

Like I said, it might be fairly close, five or six feet. You know, some of the longer clips that we run out, you might be fishing 15 or 20 ft away from the boat. So what ends up happening is if you have 15 or 20 ft on this side and you've got 15 or 20 ft on this side, you're covering the potential of 30 to 40 ft outside the width of the boat.

A lot of times these fish, where they're in a really tight school, one of your particular baits, you might totally miss them on this side of the boat. But the bait that is run up an outrigger, um, on this side might be the bait that comes right by that school, and that's where you're going to get a bite.

Sometimes if you're pulling directly over the whole school, you'll get two or three or four bites at one time. I hope you learned something from this fishing tip. I hope it brings you great success out on the water.
