Like my subject implies, I may be going kayak fishing this Saturday with my friend in his 8 foot sit-ins on a local lake of mine... It's pleasant hill reservoir and I'm wondering if anybody has fished out of a kayak or ever trolled and has some tips or pointers... I've never even trolled before, but I'm hoping to find a few flats later that night... We are planning on setting up that night on the shore and fishing for flatheads.... If you know anything or have any points I'd love to hear about them because I've never fished out a boat for anything of the whiskered kind and i don't really know where to go this early in the year.... If I catch anything ill try to post about it

Find a flat, and drift cut shad across it, you may have a good time with channels, maybe a flathead if your lucky, then set up for flathead on the bank with fresh cut shad or live shad if you can get them. If I was you I would start fishin for flathead at about 3 pm to just after dark. We've caught a few this year but no size yet, and none after dark.

Out here for 3 hours just got on bank.... No bites and not good bait... All I could get was crayfish and a few baby bluegills (baby mean 1 inch)

I fish pleasant hill all year long. drifting cut shad across the shallow end works great. anchored mid day alond the rock wall works great in the heat of the summer. trolling in that area and from the damn to the second bay on the east side works great. also if you head up river and hit the trees within the first hundred yards work awesome right now. but the stripers are running the river all the way up to the bridge.
