Going slow with the trolling motor is a good move. Half the time I'll be on the lowest setting and then turn it off as the momentum carries me. Once I stop I'll do it again. I only ever go fast enough to keep forward momentum. Also try throwing a shallow diver/rising lure out the back. I do this with a shadow rap sometimes and it usually produces as I'm trolling along. When you stop it just floats to the top, pretty much snaggless this way.
Yea I did a suspending jerk bait out he back this weekend. Had it just a yards behind the boat. Great way to increase the odds.
I keep mine at least 15 yards back. Further away from the boat the better imo.Originally Posted by Saltwater Republic
Or this cluster tangle...........ICM
My wife keeps saying I don't listen to her .... or something like that.
I will try back farther next time. Usually I am working my way around bends and people in the creeks.
Thanks for the advise.
Been there done that.
Jmatt, not me, but the MR17 is my go-to trout bait. Hope to go out tomorrow.

Yep, certain situations dont allow it to be further back.
