Btb in kayaking refers to fishing open ocean versus harbors and bays. The term is used more in the Gulf Coast region and the East Coast. They have much more protected inshore areas than we do.

Yes this is true. I used to live by the Gulf Coast. I BTB. It means going beyond the breakers. Some go couple yards out some go as far as 8 miles out to find the blue water. Ive only been 4 1/2 at most. We usually hit up gas rigs to fish and troll them. In fact I learned alot of what I know from TKF. We all like to get together and fish. Its a bit different on the west coast. Different lingo and fishing methods. Still trying to adapt.

Don't know about others, but I don't cast live bait often from the kayak. Just drop the bait over board then paddle/peddle away a ways. Lots of casting with plastics and irons though. 5-20, I'm right with you about trolling, boring, but on the kayak you're going at a perfect live bait trolling speed so you might as well have one back there. Drop a mac back, put clicker on, put in rod holder, and let the bait do it's thing. I find that a strong point of fishing the kayak, you're always fishing. Mike

Thanks, mike and everyone else for the tips/advice.

Btw, fwiw, i'm pretty sure i jigged up a bunch of anchovies (in addition to macks and greenbacks) yesterday. I actually wasn't sure what they were until i got home and surfed the net for different images of baitfish.

That's a killer rod. I have wrapped a few of them and have one myself. I used mine for the BFT last yr in the 35-50lb range. I have mine paired with a Saltist 30 2speed
