Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Learn how to troll for trout in a kayak, without the need to buy a downrigger. This setup is good for depths of 50 feet or more-great for any lake. I use this same setup to catch Kokanee. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the video it has lots of good info. I eventually want to get into trolling once I get a kayak but it just seems complicated sometimes. All the different gear you have to buy from dodgers to heavy weights and different line and all that. Also is it possible to troll and regular fish at the same time? Troll then stop and cast a few times than move locations and start trolling again?

    Thanks! Once you have the gear it's not bad at all, I fit all of mine into a single plano box and it lasts forever. You could troll and regular fish, but you'd have to reel up your trolling gear first. If you want to troll and regular fish at the same time, I'd suggest trolling crankbaits since most will float up when you stop. I still catch lots of fish on Rapalas and such.

    I trolled for trout as a kid but never put bait on the spoons and stuff that we used. Do you just cover up the hook with power bait or hook a worm?

    Nice trolling primer, I subbed. I really like your coldwater reel, been considering one. How much of an error does it have would you say? Do you use it for saltwater trolling?

    adrianS thanks man! And it’s pretty accurate, just fill up the reel. And I think I use 40lb test (braided). It was accurate when I tested it with a measuring tape in my yard. Yeah I’ve used it for saltwater trolling as well. Works great.

    Thanks! Here you go: uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190530/6f3fc0c4330c2202c284106401431fa9.jpg I use an app on my phone which isn't too accurate. But I just upgraded to a Garmin Striker which tracks speed so hopefully will be more accurate. But a general rule of thumb if you aren't able to track speed: Go a lot slower than you think you need to, when it comes to trout and (especially) kokanee. On pedal kayak like a hobie, this means very light strokes. You want to get the rod tip just thumping enough (which is induced by the action of the dogder), but not too fast.

    @@ZachTaiji Sweet thanks. I just ordered a down rigger for my kayak so it should be easier. I picked up a lost creek 10' pedal kayak and a helix 7. It tracks speed. In theory I am set. I tried your technique at island lake the other day and I could see my the wedding rig behind the flasher to see if it was working. All I got was a few small bass and lost a small trout.

    I'll be recommending your channel every time i get asked how to troll. I just like to capture the rod pumping and the drag screaming and the fish jumping clear out of the water when i get a hit while trolling. Ive been asked to do how to's since the day i slapped on a camera on my kayak but "how to's" isnt my thing.

    Sorry, your chart seems WAY off. With ONE oz. of weight. 125 FT 24 ft 150 FT 34 ft 200 FT 36 ft. That is just one place that shows the chart off. I am pretty sure there would be a lot more errors if you looked for them.
