I was out yesterday in the yak and there was no way to work with the wind. It was howling and it was swirling. It was tough fishing conditions but it did turn the fish on, no doubt.
Don51- I agree with you. it is hard for on kayak! unless someone has money to afford the camera mount or gopro to make their life easier.
I can do all of them in once. trolling, paddling, and taking photos. but it is hard because you have higher chance to lose fish if you are still holding the camera. (I know this because I went through trail and errors) haha. but sametime, it give you suck feeling that might be big fish or nice size fish that you wanted for all day to search for it. However, I won't use camera until I landed the fish first then I can take photos. after that, I can fooling around with camera to taking fish jumping shot. I won't whining if that fish successfully pop the hook off. since I have photos to prove it. -.- but I never couldn't get any of those fish to jump nor perfect shot on time when fish jump.
well, when I get enough money to afford gopro. I hope they will be good shot for random time for anything that fish did.
Don, I respectfully disagree. I think reports are more important than pics. The only time that pics are important is when you are claiming to have caught a pig. Then, you need evidence including a scale shot. But we all like reading about the trips people are taking, what's working, what's not working, where we are finding them, etc. That's how we all learn.
Fishing from the shore on a windy day sucks. Spinnerbaits are my go to in that situation. On the boat I'll always fish the shoreline that the wind is blowing at. My number one choice is a shallow running crankbait
I agree with Shawn, spinnerbait 1st option. I like a lipless crank for 2nd choice. Cast directly into the wind and keep rod tip down low...
Tight lines...
