Took out the new boat today and tried some cutthroat fishing. No luck. Fished around Juanita and Hunts points trolling firecracker herring with 2 and 3 oz weights. Heard these fish are shy so I used 12ft of 8lb fluorocarbon leader. No downriggers yet but I noticed the several boats that were out... everybody had downriggers. Are downriggers a must for cutthroat fishing or was I just not on the fish? New to the cutthroat thing.
