how do you rig for trolling I just started trolling myself managed some rainbow trout but not near as complex at least in my mind as stripers

Start at 7 at least til 10 or 11 depending when winds pick up. Trolling but prepared for some jigging

Best place to start is right here - Light Tackle Kayak Trolling the Chesapeake Bay: A Guide to Gear, Location and Trolling Tactics for Striped Bass.

It is the bible on the subject

Thanks Bruce :-)
I've been asked a few times about an ebook, but I do not have plans on that at this point.

P1010222.jpgToday was a great day on the water. I caught 6 fish 18-24+ (not sure of the 24 because I was fighting with him in the yak but he was at least that and fat) Bruce caught about the same, Scott around 4, and not sure about mike. But a great morning and first 2016 outing for me. All fish were caught between 5-7' of water for me and believe most others.

Have you ever caught any 30"+ at Smallwood?

I have not myself. Others may have.

Outstanding.

I think the stripers have paid us an early visit.

You guys welcomed them nicely to the Patapsco today!

It sounds like you had your rods on fire today too. Well done.

Harry -- Once again for good luck on your next Ft. Smallwood outing:

I t was a good day indeed. Harry started catching right out of the gate. He had 2 before I figured out the right weight bucktail for the thin water. After a slow start, things picked up. I ended up with 6 fish, half were 20" or better.

The winds started kicking up and we opted not to fight it and got off the water about 11am

I admit that I was very skeptical about the venue when Harry suggested it. I thought it would be too shallow for this time of year. Glad I took the shot and followed Harry's lead. I will be back there again
