Anyone YoYo fish off the yak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wouldn't see why not. No reason not to have a 2nd rod in the water. I would first make some bait, and get a mac out on a fly line. Then while you drift of troll, drop the jig. The only thing with the YO-YO is that it's tiring. At least with a flatfall, you have time to rest while it falls. Since I slow jig it back up, allowing it to make more falls, as I bring it up the water column, the reeling part is much easier on energy conservation. I picked up a couple nice bass on the small shimano flatfalls, my last time in LJ. I'll be jigging the Hook UP Bait next time I am out. With a fly line mac out back.

Talk to Rossman, yes I know he is in Asuncion but that is about all he does. Down there most guys use 6Xjr in blue and white for yellowtail. Yes this works in La Jolla too. Many yellows each year at La Jolla caught on Salas jigs. Tight Lines amigo.

Regularly. I would wager most guys on this board have yo-yo’d from their rig. I have experienced the same success as when I’m on a cattle boat too.

Love fishing the yoyo from the kayak! 2 rigs one deadstick and one grinding at a 45.
