Kayak laker fishing

[flyboy7]

Yesterday my friend Andrew and I took our kayaks out of Sandy Creek to fish for lakers. Between the two of us, we landed about 20 in about 100 FOW. This video shows a laker being caught from my point of view. Go pro was strapped on my head.

Nice job.  Did you go out in the morning?   I was there in the afternoon in the rain.    Lots of marks in 90-100, but not a darn rod popped.....

Yep Jim, we got on the lake at sunrise. Fish quit biting at 10:00

I must have missed that call Jude.

Looks like fun. I bought a kayak a couple of weeks ago and am eager to begin fishing from it.

How'd you get the cowbells to 100 feet. ?

Thanks- Rusty

Rusty, we use a 16 oz sinker on a 3-way swivel in front of the cowbells. You can see me grab the sinker and set it in the kayak before landing the fish in the video.

How fast would you say you troll?   I use my electric trolling motor, and I'm able to get 6 pound balls to bounce nicely without blowback.   The cowbell package says best at 1.8 mph....just wondering.

 

I've managed to bounce up a few, but not consistently.   Problem may also be I tend to go in the afternoons.....

1.5 to 1.8 is my target laker speed. But in the kayak, I can easily speed up and slow down to create action. Sometimes they bite when I slow to almost a stop.

Thanks for the info.    See you out there at some point I'm sure!

Very cool- my poor kayak has been neglected in the garage for a few years. May have to get it wet this summer
