The key is when you find a few fish close together let off the trolling motor and sit there for 10 or 15 min. Especially in clear water.

Yeah, they'd spook and I'd stop trolling. Sometimes, I'd drift, others, I'd drop anchor and wait up to 30 minutes. More often then not, you'd see em swirl when they got within 10 feet of the boat.
