The big one was 5lbs on the scale and 19.5 inches. Water was 49 degrees and many fish in the 20-30 foot range right on the bottom.

I just got a kayak a couple months ago. NOT a sit on top. What do you use to hold your rods and gear in your kayak? I keep seeing a lot of stuff for fishing from SOT kayaks but not much for trad. kayaks. Do you wear a spray skirt or use a spray deck or just keep an open cockpit?

Nice fish.

I have a 17'6" sea kayak. It's ideal for almost any fishing condition such as rough ocean on Cape Flattery at Tatoosh Island, surf launches, rivers like the upper Cowlitz or the Sol Duc and of course any lake. The market is saturated with SOT kayaks and they are good boats but I found them very limiting. Anyway, I do use a spray skirt in windy conditions or rough water. The deck I created is mostly PVC and a little plastic netting. It can hold a limit of salmon or bottomfish. Photo for reference below... The RAM mount bases I just drill the holes and make sure to back it underneath with something solid - I used pieces of an old cutting board and some Marine Goop to hold it in place best.
