We catch them all the time in the northern gulf. I usually run two shallow running lures off the down riggers. They run 3-5 feet deep and when I put them off the down rigger I can control there depth better. I still run 3-4 kts with them. The stretch's I have are all for Hoo's, and there ran at 6-7 knts. I know of several guys that troll only the stretch 30's in the area i fish and they catch just as many as i do. One thing about them is if you use Braided line as your main line and a wind-on you will get down deeper and can reach a depth of 50 ft with them.
