I rented a fishing kayak from the navy base and took her out last weekend, had 2 poles in the rod holders just behind me trolling tube and worm about 40 yrds back at a slow relaxing speed. I had 2 nice hits on, but by the time I reached back and grabbed the rod the fish was long gone. I had the drag set very low, so if one hit it would let him run a bit. Is this proper or should I run with a tighter drag? I spent a good 6 hours in the yak, got some great exercise, but need to work on the catching more. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
