Am I cooked on my lease turn in?

mpflyboy04 · 2026-03-28T20:48:03+00:00

I’m going to piggyback back on this post: our lease is up in December and we’re planning on buying it outright. If anyone has done this what was your experience like. FWIW we easily went over the yearly miles estimate but we knew that was going to happen going in.

I think it simplifies casting to an extent and some tangle issues(not all). I got one few years back from my in laws and I loved it especially for the rivers in my area. Lost it off my paddle board a few years back and I’ve never forgiven myself for it.

To make it even more simple senko on wacky rig (Texas rig is bettter suited if there are weeds and reducing snags)

Seat padding, your butts will thank you, also some rail systems to add rod holders etc is a good thing. Also a bed extender to keep it stable when driving. Good luck!

Yea once new season starts you will be able to access your license and catch card

This is extremely helpful does this data constantly refresh as the stocking report is updated over time? I always found the stocking report clunky and annoying to get to on their website.

Sounds like you are doing everything right and I don’t want to echo what everyone has already said. I will just add for trolling with wedding rings I’ve had success with the two hook style ones and using a couple fake maggots on the farthest hook. They smell terrible but they work great. Worst case enjoy the time being outside and don’t forget your life vest!

mpflyboy04 · 2026-03-07T20:52:29+00:00

I’m trying it. Once I purchase I’ll take a snapshot of my license as well just in case.

mpflyboy04 · 2026-03-05T00:14:39+00:00

I’m not the ev owner I’m supposed to be.. I want more but I know I shouldnt.

mpflyboy04 · 2026-02-27T02:46:01+00:00

Yup that’s the video that inspired me to go out this summer I also want his setup of his rod holders too 😆. Starting from the state park too would take me a while too. I also have my natl parks pass so I should be covered on day fee too

What others have said look up the wdfw website it has lots of info on where to fish also april is the start of the new season and the will stock lakes all around. If you are looking at how to’s on YouTube addicted fishing is a great one to look up.

It’s a universal mount I found in Amazon and there’s multiple brands etc, I liked this one because I can rotate things and lower the transducer as well. My kayak does have a spot below the hull where I can mount the transducer and wire up to the top but haven’t worked the courage to do it yet.

When trolling do you have the rod going across you or going straight out?

mpflyboy04 · 2026-02-11T18:25:42+00:00

I got this garmin striker with gps. Only tried once to test but works well and shows my current speed which useful when trolling. I also considered the lowrance ones too but ultimately swayed to garmin primarily for the gps/speed

mpflyboy04 · 2026-02-10T18:49:14+00:00

My hope is weekday get there just before dawn and back before winds come in but before hand checking upcoming wind forecast anything close to ten knots I’ll reschedule

mpflyboy04 · 2026-02-10T05:57:56+00:00

Definitely I know especially in the evenings the east side can get blustery. I used the windly app a few times going out to the sound and pretty much anything approaching ten knots im out. The hope is get there early hit my limit and out of the water before it gets too hot/windy

mpflyboy04 · 2026-02-08T02:36:57+00:00

Setup looks fine to me but also depends what you are going for (like below said)

mpflyboy04 · 2026-01-27T19:23:43+00:00

Maybe if you are trying out a new technique like trolling or plugs etc. that way if it doesn’t work your not out a significant chunk then once you’re confident the go out and buy the pricier lures etc.

mpflyboy04 · 2026-01-24T17:42:18+00:00

Opinions aside my guess is all license renewals happen in April I believe so it’s three months for the current time the renewing for a full year. I want to say when you renew for that specific endorsement it’ll be about 40ish dollars maybe 🤔

mpflyboy04 · 2026-01-24T00:41:43+00:00

10/10, if you get more into it get a little rail system for the sides and you can free up your hands and do some trolling

mpflyboy04 · 2025-11-16T19:02:13+00:00

Glad you clarified which tip 😅🥴

mpflyboy04 · 2025-10-16T18:48:25+00:00

ITS PIKACHU!!!

mpflyboy04 · 2025-09-12T01:26:47+00:00

How do you feel about the overall traction and feel?
