Took another skunkin' today, which was just as I basically had my head up my okole this trip, having left both net and bottle of scented shoepeg corn at the house. Got on the water right at sunrise and paddled out to the island. Got two strong strikes on a Mack's pink Double Whammy tipped with pink Gulp maggots but lost both of them thanks to my gear getting fouled around the
downrigger ball. Still trying to get this kayak trolling thing down, and made an adjustment on how I deploy the dodger / lure combo that ended the tangles. By then the bite had subsided. I did see a lot of success out there, including a couple that weren't using downriggers at all....just trolling very slowly so I have no idea how deep their rigs were. One of these days I'm going to land one!

I think I saw you out there. I caught the fish as shallow as 13 feet. So putting a little weight on and you wouldn't need the downrigger. Sorry you didn't get anything.

I saw you out there. Got 2 to the boat with the kids. One as we were realing in to leave at about 12. 4 trips this year and 3 fish, but 2 on this one.
