Damn that's crazy cuz its not trolly fishing and they obviously dont want anyone catching that's bullshit
Yes. I am a little upset with the piers around here. I've been MANY times and have only managed to catch skipjack, spanish, and a few ok sharks (one time). There's just not the amount of fish here that are further down south or in Orange Beach. I haven't seen a king landed. Not one. I heard of a few in the spring...but not many. And I don't care to endlessly cast a little hardtail into the wind and current for no reward whatsoever. So this modified trolly thing was to be my motivation for getting a nice bait out while I jacked with the other bs fish around. But that's not going to happen either, I guess. So I'll be boycotting the piers and just fishing by my house when I can for sharks.
ya i feel u on that cuz thats some bullshit ive been to a lot piers and never had one person say shit bout my rig so thats bullshit and just not right i mean its not like your snaggin fish or doin anything illegal and the only good thing about panama is the makos and tigers ya'll get up there i've seen some pics of good size makos off the beach which is crazy but awesome since they are the fastest shark in the water lol peel drag like no other i live in orlando so i got a lot of places to to but i'd rather be closer to good shark beach but i can deal with this cuz whether west or east coast is hot im only an hour or 2 from both lol
how do you get the line to slide down the trolley line?
i think grab a brick will be easier than that
It slides down because you use it off a pier so your raised up and gravity does what it does and when the fish hits the water he goes where he wants up and down your line

no immean i get that i mean how do you get the fish line to disconnect from the trolley line?
out rigger clips?

kind of. we make our own clips out of cheap snap swivels, beads, a egg sinker and some wire.
I use a plastic clothespin, a rubber band, 6in of light line with an egg sinker or two, and a cheap snap swivel. Just a cheapo depot outrigger clip. We lose a few from time to time. We "outrig" Redington pier or Pier 60 for Tarpon and kingfish depending on season.
i dont even use a second rod i just slide it down the line i throw my anchor on and i have never had a problem only time i actually use a second rod is if i bring out my 900h besides that i can cast my 6/0 and anything under far idk why a lot of poeple use 2 rods but to each his own
With the second rod and clip setup were fighting the fish without any weights or anything attached between us and the fish. Just a hook leader and swivel, I jump off alot more Tarpon with a weight on my leader. Also you have control of the depth of the bait. Ive been wanting to give the 1 rod technique just havent fished the piers lately.

ill use 2 rods because when i trolly its either for tarpon or king mackeral. and for either of those species it isnt much fun at all cranking one in on a 6/0. plus with kingfish you use light drag and for a king to pull out the anchor id be afraid it would pull hooks.
I use a squidder with a 40-50 star rod 8ft 30#line and a 5 ounce claw never had hooks pull from anchor once and I use the same for tarpon and have landed a lot of kings and tarpon just one rod tie a balloon on the snap swivel ir use abig billy bob float on the mainline to keep the bait swimming at the most 6 ft deep
All my friends fish breakaway and i believe it works but so many issues occur rocks break off don't break off get stuck its annoying i would rather spend the 2-4$ ona big lead and whatever if my bait drifts 20 yards....
