Thank you all for sharing this wealth of knowledge with beginners like myself - read all 39 pages with pleasure! I've just started longlining and pulling jigs right now (also plan to pull cranks eventually) from my pedal drive kayak. I can keep a 1 mph speed very easily while still keeping track of my gear and watching the graph.

Question that I've not seen addressed yet: If I'm targeting speed of 1.0 mph is that the speed on your GPS (speed across land) or does it need to be through the water? For instance if there's a tailwind or current pushing me at 1mph should I just drift with it or take that into account so my GPS speed would be 2 mph? Since I'm in a small boat current and wind affects me more than most guys. Thanks.
