    Default Handlining


    Does or has anyone here handline out of their yak? Caught my share of crappie this spring so I thought I might go after a big channel cat. Handlining caught my attention so I'm looking for tips.

    Funbum does some hand lining and has some video's on Youtube. He fishes out of a flat bottom with a mud motor on it not a kayak. He posts some on the Alabama forum and other forums on here.

    So are you talking of "Jug fishing", Drop lines, Trot-lining sort of stuff? All of those can be done within the limitations of most fishing type kayaks. The one thing that comes in handy for any of them is a "catch stick", or some kayak double paddles come with a "hook" built in to one of the blades. I'm talking something you would use to "snag" the line, get control of your boat and maybe to aid in hoisting a larger fish without the need to be reaching and grabbing --- both could cause you to tip or fall off some boats (i.e, sit-on-tops).

    If you really want some excitement though, join my for fishing channel cats on fly rod, while kayaking...LOL Quite the rodeo.
