There’s something more intimate about trolling from a kayak than trolling from a boat. The rods are just inches away. When a fish strikes, the entire watercraft reacts and you can feel it every bit as much as you see or hear it. With a fish on one line, you may have to clear others or risk entanglement. Aboard a boat, on the other hand, the rod bends over, you pick it up, and start reeling. It’s a very different experience. All of this is of course academic, if you don’t get a hit in the first place. Here are three critical kayak trolling tips that will help trigger that intimate feeling.
Trolling from a boat can be incredibly effective, but when it comes to getting intimate with the fish, trolling from a kayak delivers far more. Try these tips, hook up with a fish or two, and we’d bet you agree.
