  • This Just The Tip video was asked for by a subscriber! Thanks Dan for the request. In this video we go over some kayak fishing tips about trolling from a kayak. This is mainly a trout fishing technique but works for many other species. I decided to paddle my new Jackson Coosa FD for this video since paddling is more relatable for the viewers watching this tip video. Headed up to Jordanelle Reservoir to make this video in hope of it being a nice night and boy was it!

    I use a Predator XL Minn Kota (electric troling motor) with fishfinder /GPS. I find 1.7mph is a great speed for trolling for trout. Usually one line top water, the other down deeper on a downrigger. Usually slay them up in the eastern sierra's.

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 2 lety

      Thanks man! I prefer a little forward to be able to see them and have the rod be able to flex and the tip not aim at the fish when fully flexed. That way the rod can fight the fish while you are getting ready to grab and real it.

    Does the angle of the rod matter while trolling?

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před rokem

      A little. The closer to the water the deeper your lure will be with the same amount of line out. I also find it easier to watch closer to the water then way up high. Also if trolling two rods the rod that does not have a fish line will lie on the water vs possibly wrapping around you or your gear on the kayak when you stop moving forward.

      The lure itself will dive. You purchase the depth you want when buying the lure. No weights.

      25-50 yards or so. Just depends how picky they are being. Your lure will also very depth based on distance behind your yak.

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 5 lety +2

      Never done this in the sea. But for the lake usually about 1.5 mph. But if your not getting bites play with your speed and remember how fast you were going when you get one.

  • @arief3479

    Hey this was really helpful im trying to get into trolling and wondering how far back would you have your lure as per depth your fishing in???

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 4 lety +1

      Glad I could help. With this style rapala more line doesn’t always equal more depth. If you want to change depth you’ll have to change lures or use some kind of dippsy diver or down-rigger. I usually run around 25-30 yards back.

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 4 lety

      I can work on another video of some sort. When have you been going. If it’s recent this heat has those trout super deep and harder to catch. Best chance now is first light and last light.

    • @ajimenez618
      @ajimenez618 Před 4 lety +2

      @@ShootFishLife That makes a lot of sense. I have been going 7am-12pm on weekends (well after first light). Using a dodger rig with inline weight and spinners/spoons trolling around 2-3 mph. My suspicion was too much speed so I would slow down to 1.5 mph and still nothing. I may just have to get out there earlier.

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 2 lety

      When you buy cranks they have a depth they run on the package. Most the ones I have used for trolling for trout have been 10-15ft. That's why they work better for me in the morning or evening as the trout come closer to the surface.

      ?

    • @ShootFishLife
      @ShootFishLife  Před 4 lety

      Sorry I read that as a statement of what you did not a question lol. You could do that. But if your already trolling your momentum when the anchor hits will swing you kayak in a direction you will have to learn. Then if you have a big fish it might not be the direction you want and now also have an anchor line in the water to keep the fish out of. Personally that sounds like more of a hassle then its worth but I have never tried it so I cant say for sure.
