YakDout, thanks for all the info. I was pretty much going back and forth with trying the open water troll for big fish and coming back to the kelp in hopes for bass with artificial bait. I saw a seminar from Kevin Nakada (Sea Samurai) at the Fred Hall show earlier this year and was trying to keep to his yellowtail advice. Trolled the greenback about 100 feet back outside and around the kelp at 2.2-2.7mph. There was a pretty good struggle once. The greenie had some cuts along his body but wasn't dead or bit in half so I don't think it was a seal. Maybe a Barracuda. One thing I can't decide is if adding weight to the line would be a good idea to get the greenie lower in the water column.

But yeah I really love OEX. I got my Hobie from them along with various other things. Couldn't ask for a better deal and I love this yak so much (revo 13). I also have a OK Trident 11 and the off brand Ascend for two of my kids in the lakes. Definitely giving my future business to OEX.
