Hi Chuck:
We plan on (and do) eating fish fairly often when we are on passages. We
troll one or two lines, about 1/4" nylon cord with 10-15 feet of metal or
monofilament leader (depends on the type of fish in the area). We use
relatively large surface plugs with plastic skirts. Each nylon cord has a
large shock cord built in to the boat-side to take up the initial strike.
We also tie a beer can with a couple of washers onto the shock cord so we
are alerted when we get strikes. We keep a pair of leather gloves near the
stern. Fish are simply dragged up the wake (usually skimming the surface)
and then either hoisted onto the stern or gaffed. We only use our rods and
reels when fishing from the dinghy. Fishing is highly variable, sometimes
we stop due to oversupply, other times we go for weeks without a strike. We
mostly catch large fish, have sashimi, cooked fish & freeze or can the rest.
