Irvine Lake Trout - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Any advise you could provide for trolling for trout. This weekend should be my first time trolling for trout off my kayak. I've been told the further your line is out the deeper your bait will lay in the water. How far behind your kayak were you trolling the mira shad? I'm guessing you paddle at a very slow pace?

If heard trolling a crappie jig is also a good lure for trout. How would you troll a jig (is the weight of the weighted hook sufficient to get the jig deep enough as you troll)?
