    Finally got out for my first night of walleye fishing last night and did very well in 3 hours of fishing. Started off jigging up 2 tank small mouths then switched to top waters at dusk for walleyes. Went 4 for 7 after missing the first few light biters before they were finally ready to commit. Biggest was 26” and smallest was 22” and all went for bright colors crawled on top in very stained, high water. Lots of debris in the water so boaters beware.

    X2! I just got my boat back yesterday and need to do a little trailer work before I can take it out. You won’t be seeing the little red kayak trolling out there this year

    I like the idea of having a back up just in case, just not sure if there is room on the transom for a kicker. I may start off with trolling bags and in the meantime talk to the mechanic about mounting options, thanks guys

    Yep, off of any of the piers especially if there is a north wind

    I have J-11 and J-9’s, which ones are the preferred size?

    Hey guys, wonder if any of you have this motor? I recently bought a 2003 on a 19’ sea pro (Fiberglas CC) and wondering if it’s going to troll down to 2 mph or so or will I need to install my kicker? Haven’t run it yet and having it looked over by a mechanic, may be a couple weeks before I get it back.

    It never got hooked but the teeth got caught up in the egg sac mesh which is how I landed it

    Can’t say for sure what year but between the range of late ‘90’s and before 2005 since I haven’t done much steelhead fishing since then. Even at such a young stage, the markings clearly looked to be a musky to me. I have caught many northerns in the estuary but haven’t heard of any muskies caught in that area but seems like all the habitat they would need are present there.

    Never caught an adult but did catch a musky fry about 5” on an egg sac at the trestle pool years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the lower river but was really surprised to catch one that far upstream

    LB, I still have the yak but my shoulders started feeling their age last year so I placed a bid on ebay and ended up with a boat lol. Just dropped it off at the marina to have it tuned up and ready to go for spring Browns with fingers crossed

    I am getting my boat ready for ice out and apparently still have some time before I need it finished. I bought a couple Walker downriggers from Craigslist and am trying to find mounts for them so I can remove them when not in use, especially on the ladder side for when the kids want to go tubing. Does anyone have walker’s and know what I can use for mounts?

    Thanks everyone, I went ahead and had one reel spoiled with 30# BG and will save the other for a wire set up. LB, I like the braid idea at the terminal end to avoid kinks.
  13. greenhornet73
    Great thanks for your input! My next question is since my reels are Okuma 30’s will 250 yards of 30# be enough since that is probably the max that they will hold

    Hey guys, I have upgraded the fishing kayak to a boat this year and am putting together a couple more outfits to add to my trolling arsenal. I have two new rod/ reel combos that can handle over 300 yards of 20# mono. I have been told not to use braid, which is already on my walleye and brown trout rods, for salmon rods. I would still like to use these new rods for walleye and trout but would just add long leaders of lighter line. What brand and # line do you guys suggest for dipseys and downriggers?

    Pray for a slow, gradual defrost!

    Yeah tell me about it, I’m actually a little stressed out trying to fit in all the species I can in only a couple months time. I have to remind myself that a couple solid trips is more enjoyable than a bunch of run and gun empty handed missions that just waste time and gas and piss off the wife
  17. greenhornet73
    Yeah they looked too silver to be within 40’ which is when I usually start for them with the yak without downriggers. Right now I’m tying porgie rigs and clousers for the false albicore run that is finally starting
  18. greenhornet73
    Nice job, you’re doing well out there. I know it’s not easy dragging multiple lines and fighting a fish while keeping the boat on course, well done! How deep were you trolling out there? I’m hoping to get one trip of inshore trolling before the big runs begin
  19. greenhornet73
    I was expecting that comment Lucky 13 and cant say I don't question it myself at times
  20. greenhornet73
    Haha imagine the looks I get in the yak when I fish the “trench” in 120’ on a calm day out in front of camp and hooked up on a fish. Doesnt matter if I’m in 7’ of water or 140’, that vest doesn’t come off regardless of the temps.

    Nice job baller! I wont be able to get out there again until late september after I get back from striper fishing in the Sound. You may not recognize me next year, it looks like I will be upgrading to something with a motor, sadly these shoulders are starting to feel their age
  22. greenhornet73
    wow nice fish! i wasnt able to get out to the trench all weekend with the kayak, the wind was a little too much but when it layed down yesterday afternoon my arms were no longer up for the long haul so ended up fishing smallmouths for the afternoon. Quite a few boats out there yesterday, gonna have to wait until they move in now and pick on the dark ones.
  23. greenhornet73
    Awesome catch!
  24. greenhornet73
    thanks, very helpful info. I have all Ted 9’s since my 11 is one that doesn’t rattle. For harnesses I will switch to inline weights and try for the suspended fish. Thanks!
  25. greenhornet73
    on a side note, do you ever have issues with the TDD's? I have 6 or 7 of them and but only 3 of them have rattled out of the box and the paint bubbled up on 2 of the ones that don't rattle. I contacted Rapala and they wouldn't do anything about it without a receipt.
