The summer trolling bite is starting to pick up and the stripers are moving south. The summertime trolling pattern is starting to set up as I’m seeing more and more fish moving over deeper water and and hanging out around clouds of threadfin shad. Find the bait and start looking for fish hanging around the bait balls. My rule of thumb is if I see more than 4 fish on my graph at one time I’m probably going to fish that area. Here are a couple of early summer trolling videos.
