No Secret Blue

2 parachute rigs are pulled at 3ft and 6ft approx with each one I use 2 single hooks laced into the rubber tail. I fish them 75-125ft back.

I fish different colors on each one but change the colors from front to back on each rod, so I can get a handle on what color they want.

I have really good luck with a bait from Yakima baits called a sea tiger bunker (bun) at 2oz (dives to 30ft) and 5oz (dives to 30-50ft).

I fish the smaller in the prop wake about 50 - 75 ft back of the transom and the larger 1 at about 100-125ft back.

These guys catch approx 65% of the fish. I use a smaller rod here because it seems the smaller fish are more curious than the larger ones so they will come up to see what all the fuss is about and then they see the lures and go after them. Now that's not saying you wont catch larger fish; I have caught 3 50+lb fish on these 2 rods.

Fishing tip: I tie dental floss to my lines at the desired feet I want the lines behind the boat then every time I go I just set that rod out until the floss is out of the rod tip.

The only thing to remember is you pretty much have to use that rod in that same rod holder each time but once you get use to that it makes it great for setting the rods out and especially if you have to turn quickly it cuts down on getting tangled.
