Ever use a downrigger on a yak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sounds like a good idea; is the contraption too much leverage or size for the yak? Could you get 30-40' deep another way? Maybe, braid, keel style keel sinker, fluorocarbon leader, then lure will get the depth. The beauty of the downrigger is once the bite happens you aren't fighting the sinker weight and the fish.

Keep us posted,
