How much sucess do people

How much sucess do people tend to have when trolling around? I havent had a chance to do much trolling here, but did catch some tuna the only time I had really tried out deep (with mako during the FW comp). But then I could imagine you could be driving around all day without any luck? Trolling through/near bait schools might be a little different of course (say if you see a school while bottom bouncing).

Tuna

Paul - see http://fishwrecked.com/node/15554 for images of two I caught back in August 2005. Not the big stonkers - but great fun anyway!

Back then, we would just head out immediately behind the 5 and look for birds diving. Went out 4 weekends ina  row and hooked up every day. Not big stonkers but lots of fun.

Personally, I would be doing more trolling when the bans on. The water will be warmer (very cold atm) with YFT a good chance with the usual schooling tuna. Troll minnows around the baitballs as mentioned and around wrecks.....not ignoring the outskirts to structure!

All the best Paul!
