Rookie kayak Trolling!!

[KDT88]

This was only my third trip trolling on the severn river. In previous trips I had no luck because I did not have a GPS fishfinder but this time I had my brand-new elite 4 HDI and it paid off!! I caught multiple bluefish but no rockfish that I was targeting. I can finally see all the topography which helped a lot. On my way back in I didn't have a proper lighting system on my kayak so a motorboat got a little too close and caught my trolling line. I lost about 300 yards of PowerPro and my brand-new Yum Brella!! With all my brand-new swim baits on it. The first time I went kayak fishing I learned that I need to tether down everything that I have on the kayak or else I will lose it because I lost my brand-new fishingrod. Now I tether everything. This time I learned that I need better lighting when coming back at dark. Through trial and error one day I hope to be a pro!! Lol........I'd like to send out a special thanks to yakfish. Because of you and your book I got onto these fish and hopefully many more!!

There's always a much better chance of getting the big one on the water than in your living room.
