I tried your technique yesterday in that same general area and hooked a huge brown on the free line. A very subtle bite. Problem is he came off right at the boat after a lot of reeling. Thanks for sharing what you are doing especially for rookies like me!

Both. I’m going over humps or around points. Sometimes the middle works as well.

How are you getting in your kayak without getting wet? Would love to fish during this season but worry about getting wet and becoming victim to the elements.

Hey Jacob, I wear my waiters and nonslip boots. There’s always a chance you can get a little wet, so I also bring a spar set of close in the car.

It usually seems trout like to hit your free line. I'm not sure why?

I’m not sure, they’ve been doing it for years. Something about a fish up high makes them strike.

Hybrid will regularly hit the set up, but not largemouth or smallmouth. It happens once in a blue moon.
