I finished up Allan's book and decided to try the trolling tactics for finding fish. It worked!!! (buy the book!!!). I was hoping to find some stripers in the lower Susky but I found smallies instead. I trolled a 3 inch ripple shad and a 5 inch assassin. I located the fish off the tip of an island that had a point. I would troll over the end of the point and pick fish up on the rise and fall of the point. I switched to top water as the evening approached and kept getting fish. I got up into the rock pools in the late evening and did pretty well. I caught my personal best smallie on top water but the picture is terrible. I will include it hoping that someone can appreciate the size of the fish. The picture is a little better on my phone.

I have not yet trolled from the kayak.
I have trolled from a 12 ft. rowboat with panther martins for trout - and loaded the boat.
I've done a lot of trolling from the bass boat.
I'll have to try trolling from the kayak but I don't think it'll be as easy as the row boat.Comment
