Just asking some intriguing questions any answers appreciated.
Bycatch: Cuda, Bonito, Mako. Can't remember ever catching a Bass that way but I'm sure I have at some point.

But yeah just let the line out and set the clicker. 50ft is about right. I keep my flyliner in the rod holders behind me so the line doesn't tangle with the rear of the kayak and I can still make turns if needed. And yes this works with weight when you want to go deeper too. Sometimes I run one up high and one down low, works well and they don't tend to cross.
