    Every time I have been we trolled between 7-9 knots. That was with mostly plastics so it may differ with meat.

    I fish out of delaware, maryland and virgina I usally troll at 4 knots with my center line 300yrds back and my long riggers back about 150yrds. if I get a mark I would put the boat in neatural and let the baits sink. You will also get bites when you are in a turn as the baits are dropping deeper. This year it didn't take longer then 20 minutes to get our bite. We weren't catching bigguns though most were 80-100#s.
