Frank,
I got a video idea for you. Might be something you have not done yet too!!!
Ever tried trolling one of the Offshore Mini-planner boards from your Kayak? Might be something pretty cool to see. I'll bet you know some good spots on Wixom that might be worth giving it a try. Run the bait up close to the bank without having to get too close. Send Nick a PM and see if you can get one to do a video on. You might just change Kayak fishing!!
It's funny that you mention using planer boards from my yak because I was just looking at a couple of them the other day, thinking I need to do something with them. I have never owned a planer board, and have only used them on a couple occasions with a buddy fishing for walleye, so I really know nothing about them. But I think they would work well on Wixom and Houghton, and I am always up for something new. You know what they say about great minds. HahahahaQuote:

But a standard spinning rod should do you pretty well. One of those boards would be all you need (they can change from left to right). This time of year, I would think you could paddle within 40 feet of shore and run a board out to the target area close to shore. Would also be something fun to do while you are going from spot to spot.
I have a small planar board, the OR34 and have used it on stoney creek with my yak catching bluegills. I have just the one, but it was nice having three lines out in a yak and no tangles.

Nice going Frank, you deserve it
Thanks Jim. And thanks for the good word elsewhere. We had a pretty successful day and I think I was able to help him out a bit. He was pretty much a live bait fisherman, so the 20 or so that he caught on the jig combos was nice to see.Quote:
