Had a great time this weekend, testing out the new rig. Now I need to learn to paddle more skillfully:)

Thanks, Eddie! Meant to ask you...when you troll for salmon on the stealth, what do you use to get to depth? Deep six? Something else?

Nice stealth! I believe I came across you at Pedro point on Sunday. Beautiful, calm seas for testing out the new ride.

I did catch and use bait, but I ran out before I caught these two fish. They were caught on frozen herring.

Sweet yak and congrats on the catches!  I just picked up a Fisha 460 and can't wait to take it out!  Hopefully luck is on my side for some nice catches as well.

Deep six yes, IF I'm trolling, mostly I hustle around finding bait balls then mooch...the deep six's I've purchased over the years are the heavy ones and I've found that to be an error.  I'd bring a scale to the store and weigh it.  I like 5oz. if I'm 6'n.  Then you have to decide between large or small plate...I think the larger plates are called double deep six...Baron catches on a small plate and I think 3oz...the lighter you go the more line you have to pull to reach depth...go stealth or go home... :smt005 :smt006

Thanks, Eddie. What style reel do you use for the mooching w the Shimano jig? Baitcaster? conventional?
