nice how did you make out?

does any one trolling with leadcore out of there yak, if so do you find it easier  to keep a good presentation at the desired depth with lures or bait? I just bought a leadcore set up and hope to break it in on friday for some brookies/bows as I cant seem to get deep enough to find the brookies are the in the thermocline this time of yr or do they hug the bottom in a lake without lakers?

Caught 3-4 stripers nothing huge. One keeper. It made a couple runs and was pulling me around. It was alot of fun.

just put a rod holder on my yak and the 6yo little dude hooked his first salmon trolling lead core with me middle of the day. The issue i have been having trolling the lead is slowwing the yak down enough to be effective presenting the lure, i am trolling with my gps duct taped to the yak now too..lol. I am finding that @ .9mph dragging a sewn smelt or db smelt i am droppin 10 foot per color and at 1.8 mph i am averaging 6.5 foot per color. But i have been doing well trolling for salmon out of the yak, Caught 9 from it last week while on vaca. My fatherinlaw says you doulbe your catch out of a rowed boat rather than a motor boat cause it adds more action to the lure. As much as i hate to agree i only caught 3 from the big boat last week.

thats awesome man, and congrats to the little man I def plan on going after salmon eventually out of the yak. 1.9 mph you must be motoring pretty good? thats the thing i never know how fast I am going just kind of trial and error so far haha

It is actually herd to get the yak slowed down enough. my normal paddle speed is around 3.5 ot 4 mph. Little dude is hooked on yak trollin now, he sees me draggin it out and the first question is am i fishing. if yes he is getting his jacket if no he is off lookin for some other trouble to get into. We have caught a few brookies out of it casting but not trollin yet.

right on, I feel like you gotta be paddling pretty hard to be goin that fast haha but I dunno Ill keep that in mind next time out, i guess i they are so light and arrow dynamic it isnt hard to pick up speed

I don't know how anyone trolls for salmon without a GPS... speed is so important. Or maybe it's really not, my track record isn't anything special and I use a GPS all the time.
