New boats how do you TROLL LURES?

[TurtleHermit]

I've seen warlordsully on twitch troll lures, another FP player spazzhands made a post asking Which boats can be trolled from. So how about some answers? I bought the boat made of rubber and can't troll a lure in it. Do all boats troll lures? Do only some boats troll? How do you troll lures?

I brought one of the bass boats earlier. Yes it was expensive (460000 credits or something). However it can be brought with the in game money. When you get to a certain level you can't spend the money you earn from the fishing so you just end up building money up for nothing. I have only had time for a quick test but I like it. Places like Michigan, where I enjoyed fishing from the canoe thing were a pain cause of the time it took to paddle to the pike spot. Now it's just a quick scoot round and your there. OK, the game still has a few bugs, but I do still love it and still pass hours playing. You can earn 50k plus a day in Russia after the cost of bait, travel and repairs. It doesn't seem that expensive for 9 days fishing to me.

You can still walk to the pike spots faster than you can get there by boat.

I did a bit of trolling with one of the cheapest metal boats, albeit to no avail. You can get the engine going and then cast out a line. I got a few bites, but no takes.

Those were snags. Trolling correctly would require a rod holder.

I watched warlordsully on twitch troll in a boat with a lure and catch trout at one lake and catfish at another. He used an aluminum boat, I tried with the rubber boat and it won't let me, they may have it setup where one boat can and another boat can't.

Maybe trolling is only for boats that have a trolling motor? I notice the boat I bought doesn't have one, also one of the bass boats doesn't come with a trolling motor either, I don't want to exit out of my lake to go look, but I think there are three bass boats and if I remember correctly, the one with coins has a trolling motor, then second one does not, and the last bass boat at level 50 has trolling motor, if you click 3D you can see which ones have trolling motor and which don't.

I'm only throwing out a wild guess about having to have a trolling motor to troll a lure. If anyone figures out how to troll let everyone know please.

None have rod holders, so you cannot steer the boat while cast. And you don't troll standing on the front of the boat. Plus the basic boat will move at 1mph on its motor. In the real world all you need is a boat with a rod holder, crankbaits and the ability to steer .

I suppose that depends on your definition of "correctly." I've done quite a bit of trolling, and I always hold the rod to feel for any strikes.

And the lure was close to the surface, so they weren't likely to be snags.

Crankbaits are definitely not a requirement for trolling.

Correct, you can troll just about any lure that requires a straight retrieve.
Seems odd doing motor boats but not introducing trolling - will they do it in the future?

So you dont operate your motor at the same time then?

Granted, but steering IS!!

Since that post I have caught a few trolling on Michi. Usually causes the boat to crash though as you cannot kill the motor.

Yeah... What kind of boat are you running that takes 2 hands to steer?
