Unassisted YFT From the Kayak!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You can do it, even by yourself. The Prowler is as good as it gets. Personally I would not go with a cedar plug, don't think you can get the action needed at 3.5 knots. Try a rapala?, or live bait way back. Also I would suggest an air horn on board. Once on the spot try a live bait or two with a four ounce weight and a two ounce weight, tuna may not be on surface. If they are on the surface throw the popper. I can see a 40#YFT on your deck now......good luck.

Its a big ocean good luck. And dont neglect a standard chovy swimbait.
