I spider rigged out of my Native Ultimate 14.5 for years before I got a gas boat. My first handle on this board was Spiderkayaker. I had a portable hummingbird FF with a suction cup transducer. I fished 3 poles 12’long and just set them down in the boat. Never put rod holders on, It was alway just as easy to lay them in my lap. Had a minnow bucket to my back. I only stopped doing it this way because I got a boat.
It was a great learning experience for me, it taught me the value in slowing down and really focusing on the water right under me. With a limited travel range you need to make the most of what you have. One spot I got big fish regularly off was a long point where a creek fed the main lake channel. The point sort of hooked at the end. In side that hook there were always quality crappie. I learned to look closer at some spots I might have over looked. I always scan the ends of long points now, and I have found a few other pockets like the hooked one.
