Tips for trolling artificials? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm in the same boat as you Dave. My Fish Finder has yet to arrive so I fished blind last time at Dana. I've trolled Kroc knock offs before and a slower speed yielded more results. The fish didn't care too much for a mad paddling speed nor a moderate one either. Slower seemed better. The best thing I found though was just casting and retrieving along kelp patties as the cuda and bones should be under those. Like everyone else I'm always learning about our coastal fishery, and this is what I learned on my last trip.
