    Subscribed. Thanks, that was a great overview for new kayak anglers in the Sound.
  • Nice adventure my friend. Enjoyed it! Liked and subbed from a fellow kayaker. Stay safe and connected brother!

    Switch to a flasher with fin and lures that create their own action. That way you don't have to go so fast. Resi coho can be caught constantly at 40 to 50 ft. I just use dropper weight. Yesterday I used kokanee rod with 8oz dropper and 8inch flasher

    Great video, thanks! I'm trying to get my kayaks prepped for this year. Last year I just started and am learning how to fish the Sound near the Olympia/Tacoma area.

    Subbed, cool content. I actually wanted to head out myself, do you have recommendations on where to launch my kayak / quiet areas in the sound to fish?
  • @bentrod4255
    Saw you headed out as I was headed in. Thanks for the video!
  • What are the flags you have attached to your net? I like the idea!
  • "Thanks for sharing! I'm still concerned about the impact of the downrigger on my kayak, so I'll stick with free weights this season. Do you have any recommendations? :)
  • @604rioso
    what size line are you using? I didn't catch that in the video?

    Where are you launching from?
