Yeah, I am in a dilemma. My wife and her family are 100% Irish and have the complexions to go with it. That means I can't troll out to Bug Light without frying them. If I am trollin I leave them onshore, which with their temperament, is a problem, or make sure they have their max sunscreen on. No one on my wifes side has any engineering talent and they don't get why I can't troll with the top up. (I love them to death besides that!!) However, they do understand walking and chewing gum at the same time and feel it's the same thing, so why not. Bug Light is about a 8 nautical mile run and that is where I fish for fluke, stripers, drum, etc. a good bit of the time. Since I have that 8 mile run anyhow, why not troll out and back?? Who knows, I may pick up a lost Southern fishie. My outriggers are gunnel mounts and moving the mounts further out would require new mounts (expensive) or major tupperware surgery. (plastic surgery) Moving the bimini mounts more inboard is my only shot to accomplish tollin under cover without paying a plastic surgeon.
