i'll chime in for you.
1. the big e usually doesn't troll for fish. the slower boats out of port aransas do troll.
2. the bigger coolers are usually stored on the upper deck and if seas aren't rough some store coolers under the seats on the outside of the boat.
3. depends on which floaters they fish. any where from 4 to 8 hours. however most trips they make a bait stop which can take a while.
4. bait is made by the passengers on bait stops and also the crew will fish for baits when you bottom fish.

have a safe and productive trip....rick
