Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for subscribing. Taking a jetski way out seems like a lot of fun. I've seen a couple videos of people doing that, interesting to see how they rigged up the jetskis too.

I've only been on the pier a couple times but they didn't give me too much trouble there. Just on the beach.

Thanks man! Yeah that fish ate his Wheaties that morning. Hopefully by eating him I have added his strength to my own 💪 😆

Nice! You're gonna love it out there - good luck man!

Thanks man! Yeah those hybrids are super fun. There are some pure strain striped bass stocked too.

It's a Wilderness Systems ATAK 120

Thank you! I appreciate that a ton, and will do!

The rod with the green line on the reel is a 6'6" Fenwick HMG - light power, fast action. That reel is a Shimano Vanford 2000 and it's got 10 lb Suffix 832. It's not a cheap reel but I love it and think it's worth the price tag. The rig is a standard dropshot with a size 4 (I think) Aberdeen hook, and a 3/16 oz dropshot weight about 6 inches below the hook.

That really means a lot to me - thank you! And I do actually plan to make a video about all the kayak accessories and stuff somewhat soon.

Yup, you got it. And thanks!

That's a cheap Bass Pro brand rod, it's a 6'6 light. Reel is an Okuma ITX 2500.

Penn Fierce 6000

Thanks D 👍

I launched the kayak from Monument Beach, I think I had to pay to park there for the day though. I don’t really fish around here much, once or twice a year, my wife’s family has a summer cottage in Wareham and we visit occasionally. I wish I could more. I’ve never had any luck in the canal, it’s so unlike anything I’m used to.

@rem_fishing thank you I'm there all the time fishing the canal and hang around monument beach but never seen anyone fishing from a kayak then seen your video and like how you get out there lol I want to start fishing from a kayak like you for salt and freshwater fishing . the canal and other spots can get crowded and boring at times while this just seems like a enjoyable peaceful experience

It's also frustrating and uncomfortable at times i'll warn you. But it's magic too. Totally worth it in my opinion.

Definitely

Hahaha thanks man!

Thank you so much!

Ah okay, thanks! I think I’m gonna google image search them later I’m curious to see what they look like.

Okay cool. I think there are some salmon in the big lake, maybe it’s the same fish?

Nice. Glad to hear that from some ones who’s put them to some use!

For drifting you'll have to consider the depth of the water, as well as the speed it's moving. Usually I want the jig to drift close to the bottom if possible. Or even contact the bottom a bit as it drifts (but maybe not if the bottom is real snaggy). Greater depth and/or current speed will require more weight of course. It's largely trial and error. Take a guess and give it a try, then move lighter or heavier as needed. If you don't every feel it hit bottom go heavier until you do. If that keeps getting hung up then back off just a touch. In general it's good to use the lightest weight that will work. And try not to get too frustrated when you lose some of them too!

@@rem_fishing Thanks for your answer, I don't have much experience.What are the disadvantages of not increasing the weight of the jighead in deep water, is there a loss of sensation in the rod?

@@yasinozkaran4417No worries, you're welcome! Disclaimer:I wouldn't consider myself a final source of expert source of information, haha. BUT... If you are fishing specifically by drifting the jig, in deeper water with current, and trout are holding lower in the water column or on bottom, and the jig is too light - the jig simply won't get down to them as it drifts. If you aren't drifting the jig in current, it's much different because of course you could just wait and allow a lighter jig to sink (within reason). In terms of sensation - spinning rods will almost always be labeled with a range of weight that they are designed to cast, and if you are using a jig within that range of weight (or close to) then you should be able to feel the jig if drifting on a tight line. If circumstances prevent you from being able to keep the line tight then an indicator/float is a good option.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks!

Thank you! That means a lot to me. This kayak is a Wilderness Systems ATAK 120. Highly recommended.

That sucks man, I'm still pissed about that net!

Thanks man! Yeah there’s not much structure in this particular lake other than the boat docks, and these smaller ones seem to set up on them quite a bit. It’s fun to figure out which ones they like.

Thanks man! Yeah that’s the pc alewife. I bought some in the hopes it would trigger more bites, but you know there’s always so many variables I feel like it’s impossible to tell if it’s making a difference. If they are hitting well I kinda forget about it, if they seem a little hesitant, just following, I’ll be more diligent about applying it in the hopes it will tip the scales. I couldn’t say I have a whole lot of rhyme or reason to how often though, just if I can see it on there or it seems washed off. I imagine the fish can still smell it somewhat even if I can’t see it ,but I’ll just kinda bump it back up when it looks like it’s mostly washed off. Maybe every dozen drops?

Here I’m managing that the easy way, I’m just using a crank bait that has a fixed diving depth range of 8-12 ft (I believe). The amount of line out and the boat speed will affect the depth slightly, but not very much - It’s pretty predetermined by the design of the lure. They only make them to get down so far though, 20ish feet or so. If you wanted to troll something else like a spoon or a baited hook you’d have to do a little math and consider the amount of line out, the amount of weight you’re using, and your speed. And even then you’ll have to adjust for real world variables. Dipsy divers are a pretty simple way to get lures down to deeper depths for trolling as well. I can’t really give a complete answer, you’ll have to do some more research but hopefully that helps to start!

@@rem_fishing Thanks for that reply! Ill look to purchase a fixed depth crank bait! I still wanted to know what kayak you use and what depth finder? Just to get an idea of what's out there. Thanks.

You're welcome! Wilderness Systems ATAK 120 & Lowerance Hook Reveal 5ss.

For sure!!

Thanks Joe! I'm not up there right now but I'd guess TFSP should be heating up big time soon. Sheldrake might still be good rn though. That is where I launched from here (video is from a couple years ago though). There is a public launch. It's just a rocky beach without a ramp so there's usually not a ton of people using it.

@@rem_fishing, thank you for the super quick response on an older video! I watched about 8 of your lake trout videos in a row LOL. You make it look so darn easy!!! I will mark over 100 fish and have 80 chase and hook into 3 and land 1 LOL. I still have a great time because it's fun watching them on the fish finder. THANK YOU very much for showing all your techniques, gear and lures it's very helpful. Also showing a bit of video before the strike because we get to see your presentation is really nice of you to do. It appears you prefer the West shore, am I correct? Thanks for everything, be safe, have fun and I have absolutely subscribed to your channel!! 👍🏻

Cayuga

It really is!

Thanks! Yeah I think it's one of the most gorgeous lakes ever. I just went out of the DEC launch if I remember correctly.

Hi William. Where exactly on the lake are you fishing?

@@rem_fishing i went to meyers park boat launch.

@@williamlin4226 They can be finicky in summer, early mornings are usually better, sometimes there are little bite windows for one reason or another. Meyers is so-so in my experience. Soon, as Fall starts getting closer I would try launching from the other side (Taughannock), usually more fish over there then. Do you have a fish finder? If so are you at least seeing them follow the jig up? They will generally do that for at least 20 feet or so even when they are not hitting. And of course they move around a lot and often times the issue is there just aren't many fish in the neighborhood. Summer time 70-80 ft is usually a good depth to look for them.

@@rem_fishing Thanks for the advice, i might start launching from taughannock. I flipped my kayak at meyers park the other day and lost some gear. Hopefully the west side might give me better luck. Yes i do havea fish finder and notice a bunch of fish on the surface but not alot in the lower column of the water. Ill try 80-90 ft next time as ive been trying at 120 ft recently

Yeah that would be my guess too but I was wondering if anyone thought/knew differently. Seemed like he was doing pretty well considering!

I use flouro, but yeah I always use a leader, 10-12 pound.

NIce! That area is beautiful. I've fished that stream probably a handful of times since, but this was definitely the best trip. I used to live kinda close by, in Caroline.

There is a huge point nearby that has a creek flowing in. But I'm not targeting any specific structure, just certain depth ranges on the ledges. They are usually roaming this general area in the fall, many of them spawn near here and it's also the location where they stock them. Salmon and Browns use the creek to spawn and Lakers will follow them in sometimes if the water is high enough, I imagine they are eating the eggs.

@@rem_fishing you’ve earned a subscriber my friend

The hybrid videos are actually from down south, mostly Georgia.

Thanks! Have fun!

REM_fishing I caught a fish there at jerkal island pier and I’m 13

It was a silver poucr
