Took a hint from Ditch and used pink/chartreuse. fished from my boat and did pretty well. Fished from the channel, throwing shallow and dragging back. No pics, gave the catch to my fishing partner today. But we did 16 nice keepers and a whole lot of shorts. Wonderful day on the water, sun, blue sky. It's almost as if spring was here.
Excellent! Glad you did well and had a good day.
Glad you was able to get out! Congrats on a good day on the water.
Sounds like a great day of fishing, good job
Ditch is giving tips!?
Thanks for the report.if I don't have to work and the weather cooperates me and my future bro in law are thinking about putting his boat in at arrowhead Friday.
DB is the man to listen to, nice catch.
Sounds like a great day in the sun and all.
Weather should be ok. Might be windy though. Good luck.
I just keep at it until I get lucky, LOL.
Glad you got a few!
And I can't wait to start fishing in my new kayak. Just need to customize a bit and get some rod holders installed. Does your sonar transducer sit inside or off the side in the water?
I have an arm that swings down and is held by a magnet. I can fold up out of the way when not needed. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
Here's my transducer set up.

Got it. I can see how I will have to customize. thanks.
Half the fun is outfitting yourself and seeing what works.
Manufacturer makes a foam type bed for the transducer to sit in, it glues to the inside hull. But, you're supposed to pour water in with the transducer so it will work. Any idea if it works well? Heard of anyone using it and being happy? Also, a u-tube video shows a guy using pvc to fit scotty type rod holders to his kayak. He mounts them flush with the gunwale (do they call the sides of a yak gunwales?) and supports them underneath by bedding them in a piece of wood. Seen anyone use something like that? I like the idea of the flush mount.
If your yak is soiled it should work fine. One of mine is a layered polyethylene, basically two layers with a foam in-between. The transducer "sees" the area as an air gap and won't go through.
