There are over a dozen kayakers with the alma/outboard engine mod in SE Florida. They troll up to about 5 knots and many of them have tried trolling Nomads and other similar lures. I have seen success with that method for the kayakers in Puerto Rico, but yet to see any locally. The majority of our kayak catches are taken slow trolling live baits or vertical jigging. Planners are a bit more work to use, but at 4-1/2knots they would be worth trying in SoCal. It would be very satisfying to take some fish on your own homemade lures -- Probably easiest to see that success on a long-range trip or Baja camping. Your lures turned out nice!
