This will be my first late fall season on the bay. I am looking at the boxes of tackle and gear and preparing to stock up on the necessary items to cover the fall run.
Items i have on hand
- Several parachute jigs in 2oz and 4oz (white and chartreuse)
- Plenty of buck tails assorted colors 3/4oz to 2oz for tandem rigs
- 1 6" bomber deep diving crank bait
- 1 Rapala 6" or 7" deep diving crank bait
- Assorted soft plastics
- Spools of leader material 30lb to 80lb
- Several small metal jigs
- Breathable waders with wading belt
- Splash top
Items to add and questions
- Trolling spoons (What size would be best suited for trolling from a Kayak?)
- Small Planner board (would this be useful on a Kayak?)
- What bottom structure should you key on that time of year when trolling? Channel edges in deeper water? Deep pods of bait fish?
- Whats the best way to determine how deep your lure is running?
- How deep do you chase fish at?
- What lures / presentations have worked well in previous years?
- Do Tube's work that time of year in the bay? If so what size works best?
- Does drifting live eel's on deep channel edges work? Is there a tackle store around the BB that sells eel's?
- What area of the Bay do you focus on this time of year?
Ideas
- What about a small 3lb down rigger ball attached to a metered line. Marked every ft. Then you could lower the ball to the desired depth cleat off and troll lighter lures. The down rigger clip would release on a strike and fish on. You would not have to guess what line out or speed combinations to use. See any problems with this idea for deeper water other than a extra line for a fish to wrap on? I think this could possible be a good way to troll a small bunker spoon deep.
