Doers Size Matter?:
Small Boat Trolling Issues

When we first splashed Toy Boat 2, we had some concerns about whether or not a small skiff could fish offshore as well as a large boat. Assuming both can get to and from the fishing grounds safely, does a large boat have an advantage over a small boat offshore?

The answer is "usually". But, as always, there is no substitute for good fishing skills. And there are lots of things you can do to overcome the disadvantages of small size. This article covers most of the issues that are involved, and reviews current thinking. You can try out some of the suggestions, and / or compare your experiences in these areas. We'd love to hear back from you on our discussion forum.

REMEMBER - this is not a general discussion of trolling techniques. This article deals specifically with size-related issues between larger boats and skiffs.
