                Yessir. Pan cooked for dinner and smoked overnight for breakfast. Landed 3 (Limit) all around 10 pounds in about 4 hours. The water was enjoyably cold with a swift current.

                            @Giles what's the action on that lure? I see no lip so it doesn't dive, it is a sinking erratic swimmer with an open mouth that leaves a trail of bubbles as you reel?

                            if you have a link to it i'd like to look into it.

                                I use a similar "walk the dog" lure called a Spook. It works best on calm water in the early morning and evening for bass, and in the middle of the day on choppy waters for Northern.

                                I'll add a Patchinko to my arsenal and see what i can catch

                                        Thanks. I have an old stradic 1000 for Freshwater that is solid as a rock. Smooth and pretty bulletproof. I abuse it TBH. You’re gonna love that 4000.

                                        Just picked this up for kayak trolling for striped bass. It’s a Avet SX G2

                                            That’s awesome. I’m sure you have a “few”

                                            I just installed this in the yak. I’m awful laissez faire about drilling holes in my boat.  😃
