how sturdy is the od holder that you use, do you trust it?

Do Circle hooks work well for Halibut, or do they not work since Halibut are different?

Billy Perkins - 8 years ago

I am thinking of buying a Native Manta Ray 14 Kayak, have u heard from anyone if its suitable for the ocean , as it has a bit of a flat bottom. Thanks

ZLuis2009 - 10 years ago

What type of setup did you have? I want to try this for catching catfish, gars, trout, drums etc. would you recommend using a floater and about 2 or 3 feet of line for catching trouts and drums? For catfish i was thinking of maybe a drop shot..idk what do you think? Amazing kayak btw, id love to have one of those one day.

2020skimboarder - 10 years ago

I use a big spinning reel for trolling. you want to keep the drag set for hooksetting and fight. no 2-speed system. so the rubber band trick is very helpfull. when trolling in hot sun with a longer period without a bite (ok, maybe that doesn't happen to you..lol) your rubber band never got sticky, leaving bits on the line? great channel - a sub!

erik Arellano j - 11 years ago

i have okuma trolling reels its a 7000 i paid 150okuma has the best trolling reels

CGGuitarboy - 11 years ago

when you troll with a minnow lure or other, do you use the same method? also, do you need to attach a small weight on the line or just free line it for a natural presentation if any what size leader is recommended?

jungleislandsurvivor - 11 years ago

Thanks for the tips. The rubberband tip was incredible, hahhh...burns through. Starting out like I am, gear is trickling in a little at a time, so that tip will come in handy.

roman tujague - 11 years ago

to increase action of the live bait try bridling, look it up it works great @kayakfishingtales

Leiberg - 12 years ago

I have a Hobie also, and i love it! I started with a traditional sit on top, and it didnt work for me at all. To akward with a paddle when i big fish hits. Hands free is the way to go ;)

kevin Boland - 12 years ago

a man to that brother. why go cheap and buy what this man has. get a hobie, and keep your hands free when the action happens. I have one in the Solomon islands. and love it.

i got trolled :(

badmammajamma79 - 12 years ago

Great Vid Man. I've been curious if you can use a casting reel for trolling.

WolfgangHolzmann - 12 years ago

Great tip with the rubber band, except that it's gonna end up in the water and get swallowed by something with less discerning tastes. When that fella bio-degrades the band is probably gonna get swallowed by something else again. Pity. Good instructional video anyway. Keep em coming.

Leiberg - 12 years ago

Now all you need is a Hobie kayak :)

tucker clark - 12 years ago

@XxBeatbusterxX I've heard trolling for speckled trout is good u jus use a speck rig

ModelosPR - 12 years ago

The first Shimano reel, what model is it? Thanks.

Nunya Bidness - 12 years ago

Thanks for the rubber band trick!

Jim Sammons - 12 years ago

@krmaxima It mainly depends on the size of the bait and your taget species. JS

Jim Sammons - 12 years ago

@superturd9 The loop knot allows the bait to swim more naturally JS

Where in Baha do you kayak troll offshore? Something I want to do, would love some details...

Dan Loughran - 12 years ago

I am kind of disappointed with your rigging of your circle hook. Why arent you snelling your hooks?

cacianobeast - 13 years ago

maleka58 - 13 years ago

I have always enjoyed fishing and recently bought an ocean Kayak (Prowler 13). I have fished with lures from a boat and shore before for Bass but this is new to me. What is the best type of lure to use from a kayak. I fish in what we call gullies the lures get caught, lots of weed and various sea depth, they either go to deep, get caught or skip along the surface. What is he best distance behind a kayak to troll? Lady angler from Jersey CI UK. Any advice would be welcome. am frustrated!

Brian - 13 years ago

that rubber band trick might not do the trick. Like you stated you burn the rubber band. that might damage the line when your fighting a big fish.

What do you do when you flip over with all your expensive gear? How do you keep from loosing it ?

scupperyak - 14 years ago

Great video. Thanks!!!! I live on South Shore of L.I. & am new to kayak fishing. Already loving it. I own a pungo and have caught fluke, flounder, and snappers in local bays. Any suggestions for drifting and casting artficial baits.(i.e. speed, type of bait, rigging, etc)? Also would like to try for blackfish and porgies what's the best bait? Any other tips, websites, etc. for inshore saltwater fishing, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

KayakFishingTales - 14 years ago

@krmaxima For saltwater, 9/0 or 10/0 2x strong Mustad Demon Circle hook.

krmaxima - 14 years ago

Usually what size circle hook do you use?

Beedydogg - 14 years ago

ColdDead Hands - 14 years ago

I'm just getting into Kayak fishing in part from a few months fishing in Florida. I rented a Yak and went into no man's land. I caught more fish than on the flats boat! My Capt. buddy told me to get way back in the mangroves where boats can't. I'm back in Maine with a new fishing Kayak and learning all I can. Thanks to all who put useful info. on you tube!! I've learned more going through vids. than i could have in months!! I'm in fresh water going after anything thats biting!

KayakFishingTales - 14 years ago

not really. It's much more of an offshore technique.
