First Crappie Limit from Kayak
 
I have had a great time this Spring learning to use my fishing kayak. Saturday morning, I headed to Woods to attempt a limit of Crappie keepers. I was successful ...

I used a very interesting pulling technique. I put a Motorguide Xi5 with Pinpoint on the kayak. The remote works fine for steering the kayak to your fishing spot but in order to use the neat features on the trolling motor, you need to have the motor pulling the Kayak backwards.

That is exactly what I did! This allowed me to slow troll four rods with jigs. Used the autopilot and speed control functions. I suspended a five pound weight from the front of the kayak to serve as a rudder.
