Thanks for all the great info. Tomorrow is my 1st attempt at trolling in the CB. I'm leaving out of Fairwinds Marina on the Magothy. I'll probably cruise around for a while to get a feel for the water and depth but will pick a spot to troll. I would appreciate any tips on location, depth, etc.
Location: St Michaels MD and Princeton Junction NJ

First tip: Find an experienced crew who can help you. It is not rocket science but takes a long time to learn and things can go very bad very quickly.
Second tip: Go south from the bridge.
Third tip: Watch out for big cruisers with the autopilot on who don't see you. I was almost run over Sunday by a Hinkley picnic cruiser. With boards and 15 rods maneuvering is difficult.
I'm keeping it simple with a couple of rods to start. I don't anticipate using planer boards for a while
Good idea.....and that leads to the third tip: Don't be disappointed or get frustrated if you don't get any bites. Guys with decades of time on the bay are struggling to get bites still.
South of the bridge you'll see a bunch of anchored ships. Kent Island charter captains are saying they've been catching fish around there.
I haven't spent much time with lines in the water. I spent a couple of days exploring the water and maybe an hour trolling. I'm going to try chumming around the bridge tomorrow.
