Pat's Tip(s) of the Week - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

nmbrinkman · 02-21-2007, 04:20 PM

I can't tell you how many times I read this article here and on the OEX site. Things stuck in my head like casting up current (although I don't always know what direction the current is going, just where the wind is pushing me), reeling all the way up rather than drop it back down after a few cranks, such and so forth. I too must give Pat credit for my first winter yoyo yellow and my first YT on an Iron. Thanks Pat.

Pat,

Great info on the iron tossing. It takes guts to go without bait.
I usually try to have both available, but there have been times when
I slept to late to make bait and slid out after sunrise and stuck one.
When the squid are around having a little GLOW on the iron does't hurt either.

qoute](although I don't always know what direction the current is going, just where the wind is pushing me.) always look at the direction the kelp is pointing. that will tell you wich way the current is going.

Sorry I wasn't more clear.. I was thinking about the last few trips when wondering where "upcurrent" would be. I was in 90' to 180' of water and not really anywhere near the kelp... But yeah, that is a good method otherwise..
