Bumping this post, Catt you fish out of tin right? You don't have a spotlock motor correct? Do you anchor down or just keep your foot on the trolling motor at 40/50 percent?

 

I anchor alot when structure fishing but occasionally I'll ride trolling motor.

One technique I use in the kayak >not sure what it's called but it's outlawed in a few of the tournaments I fish.  Anyway, the idea is you cast (not a long distance 30-50 feet) as soon as you spot fish on the finder, letting line out, troll or row, in my case, away from the fish around triple to four times the depth (so 150-200 feet) of the fish and then start your retrieve.   This works best if you are using a crankbait and you can sort of mark your spot.  I use this technique when it is super windy or as a last resort and have done well.   

 

I also use this in different patterns, figure 8's and and boxed X have worked so far. 

 

 

I can't imagine why this technique would be outlawed

Like trolling and longlining are outlawed in lots of tourneys is my guess. Because they work too well!!
