I called this video "A Troller's Dream". We were trolling for Stripers and Hybrids on Tims Ford Lake in southern middle Tennessee. We had eight rods out fishing in what I call "The Spread". Riviera planer boards are used on both sides of the boat and with a couple of rods trolling out the back. The side rods all had Captain Jim's Hair Jigs (StriperFun.com) and the two rear rods had StriperMemories Mini-Urigs. Depth control for all eight rods was achieved using Tadpoles purchased from Offshore Tackle. On one of the neatest sequences, were trolled through a school of surfacing fish. They were coming up as close as 10 feet from the boat. The Lowrance screen was covered with fish so I knew it was going to get wild. We ended up hooking and landing 10 fish on eight rods. One of the trailers was fouled and didn't get a fish but the Mini-Urigs made up for it. One had two fish on it and the other had three!
