Great vid. Wind is suppose to be down tomorrow. It's been a while. Maybe RB with a 1/2 dozen trolling lures , a couple bucktails & a weighted treble for some snag & drop. I also have some trolling weights if I need to get down a little more. You ever use those heavy parachute type bucktails fpr trolling down deep?
@@MDYakFishing Yup, I have done that from the boat. I'm talking about the heavy bucktail jig style single lure. I purchased a couple a couple of years ago & haven't used or been out in a while do to an injury. Probably save them for the next time out or for when they start to move out deeper. Thanks for getting back.
My daughter recently moved out there and I will be visiting her in the spring. Can you recommend any good fishing Kayak rental places in the Annapolis area. Alot of them appear to have the non fishing kayaks. They dont carry the Hobie, Jackson... fishing sit-upon kayaks with the nicer seats.
Thanks for the great tips. New sub. One question I have is if the fish are at 25ft down and I’m using a jerk bait, how much line should I let out? Also, same question for soft plastics. Thank you in advance. 👍
Thanks for watching. They have trolling calculators you can use to figure out how much line you need to let out as well as how much extra trolling weight you may need.
For your steering drum connection to the torqeedo, why didn't you connected it directly to the screws vs. running it through the front holes and back down to the screws?
Good question. The screws are small and a direct connection would have put all the force parallel to the drum. The method I used normalizes the force relative to the drum reducing the lateral force on the screw and thus reduces the chance the plastic screw hole will break or give.
@@MDYakFishing I have a NK180-S motor, pretty much identical to the torqeedo, but you bring your own battery flavor. I'll take apart my steering drum to see how I can run the wires through.
What is your power source for your torquedo and how much does it weigh. I watched a video where you trolled most of the day and power seemed to be no problem. Thanks
This is my favorite channel. I especially like how you explain everything so nicely. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
I dont see many ppl with the rubber bands on plugs but all my plugs have them. Theyre easier to store & dont stick to each other as easy. Good stuff
Thanks for the comment. It's a simple thing that is a huge time saver.
"The John skinner of fishing " haha I had a chuckle
lol. Yeah he’s the benchmark.

Best of luck tomorrow. I have used tandem parachute rigs. If i’m trying to get down to 30 feet or more that’s my top choice.

That is key. Most likely in order to get a Hobie fishing kayak as part of a fishing experience you'll need to hire a kayak fishing guide.

Could you do a video on how to catch snakehead?
Thanks for the suggestion. That video is next on my list.

@@MDYakFishing Thanks that's what I had a hunch on.
@@dmnguye69 No problem. I wish I had a picture. The cord wraps around the drum about a 1/4 of the way now, further distributing the force.

I use the 915Wh torqeedo battery. It weighs 10 pounds. I generally get 6 hours of continuous use.
What is your battery ? N how long it last trolling at your speed?
I have a Torqeedo 915 Watt battery. On average I get about 6 hours of use.
awesome
I appreciate it.
Awesome...
Appreciate the feedback. thanks!
