With this one technique, in most of the occasions pieces of medium size will be captured but the probability of capturing considered pieces as great it will not move away of the reality.

The trolling will have to be made at low speed and so that the sport fishing lures work, when the bottoms are lent, in a rank that oscillates between the 1,5 and 4 meters of depth.

On the other hand, if the location a deep rock or the location of a sunk boat is known, it will be necessary to trolling very slowly around them so that one commits the snapper to leave to attack our sport fishing lure. In this areas one will be due to have special well-taken care of with the sport fishing lure to use, since depending on the depth to which it works, we will be guaranteed if he himself obstructs itself or not in the submerged bodies.
