Drifting for cats? - 06/17/13 02:41 PM
I guess I need to learn how to do drifting for cats...so how is it done? I exclusively use a kayak so any tips on doing it from a yak would help too. How do you rig your rod and what bait do you use?
go down to the yak section and pm christian myrick. pretty good guy and good yak drifter

3 way setup, with cut bait drifting along the bottom......throw out a 36" Drift sock

Santee cooper rig, let enough line out so that your line is at about a 45 degree angle. I have been using 2oz slinky weights that I make out of 1/4oz egg sinkers. They drag very smooth and eliminate a lot of the rod tip bouncing while drifting. I use cut shad almost exclusively.
I drift 3 rods. Santee Cooper rig but a 60" leader. 36" drift sock works great with my Hobie Pro Angler.
