I did manage to hookup on a small LMB on the way in, throwing the sinking rap at a submerged log. hope to see you out there on the water in a yak or jon boat.

You don't need a rigger for WayWay, it's only 50-60 feet deep at its deepest, keel weights and or snap weights will get you down, one of our hits Thursaday was on a silver flutter spoon with 5/8 oz. keel 4 feet above it with 44 feet of line out sticking out the back of the boat, most likely a trout hit but we didn't hook it. If you use keels they are attached in-line and use a snap swivel on one end and a barrel swviel on the othe to prevent line twist and it makes it easier to change weights when needed.
