havnt done it myself, been wanting to try it for a couple years just havnt took time to try, would like to give it a try in the next week or two, i have heard that when trolling for threshers its not uncommon to hook them in the tail which makes for a tough fight for the angler, fred archer has a book on trolling for sharks which would be interesting to read

thanks for info,ive heard other people that have hooked them trolling for stripers, sound like a good speed to start at .

We catch them from time to time while trolling for Giant bluefin off Morehead in the winter .. usually around bunker schools in 50-75 ft of water .. our speed is in the 4-4.5kt range and the baits fished off the planers (subsurface) seem to get most of the thresher bites
