I love the castmasters too,but they are alittle to heavy to troll from a kayak. a quick left just inside the gate and follow the road to the end takes you to cleghorn cove. There is a paved launch ramp for hand launching only not crowded,no boat traffic, better and closer parking. The setup is called a mouse tail or mexican top hat. basically a ball of powerbait for scent on a trble hook with a power worm on one prong hanging out for action. use contrasting colors. make sure you check the wind and don't get caught at the north end when it picks up. It's unusal if it's not blowing! Good Luck. rob

they make 3 sizes of cast master but finding the right trolling speed for them is hard that's why rooster tails work great!!!

I have been using those since I was 13 and have never stopped. They work, and that's all that matters. I don't know what it is but some think that if they are not throwing the most popular thing they are doing something wrong. I have seen people catch trout on small rapalas, but I stick with what I know gets numbers and even size. My larger fish have always been on the Roostertails.

Last time I was on lake Jennings about a month ago. My son and I could have limited out on trout in 1 hour trolling the roostertails, but I stopped so I could give him the chance to bait fish and see what if feels like to get a bite. He caught a trout and a catfish back to back all on his own. I didn't help him at all. He's 5, keep that in mind.

Stick with what works.
