We can use different methods of finding the fish for the night time bite. If we are able to find the fish before we are forced to stop trolling then we will deploy the anchor and park our self's on top of the fish. If however we are unsuccessful in finding the fish we will then set up for the drift to carry us over the best structure in the area. If need be we will make several moves during the night to cover as much ground as possible.
