Very entertaining man.. killer video! Get you a cord or something and tie one end to paddle and other end to boat. You won’t lose it and can also use it as a Cajun anchor if you wanna stay put!
Yeah I use a lazy man hook rigged with a white minnow gulp. If we get some decent cold fronts the specks will move from around grand Isle up into the marshes north of the isle. I fish predominantly in the Leeville area which is a good area for reds and specks. Hope that helps some. Follow bayou coast kayak club on FB for reports. I also suggest watching Rogarou on RU-vid. He fishes a lot in that area.
