First blood in the AI

Fished off of Beechey Head in East Sooke today, trying out my AI for trolling under sail. Worked like a charm--I was able to troll using my rigger for most of the day without pedaling (except when I came about). Managed to get the skunk off the boat with a 15 lb king. I think i might try a heavier ball, perhaps moving from 5 up to 8 lbs since the sail and rudder seem to be able to handle it.

Solid. Way to break in the yak.

2nd trip with the AI at Muir Creek yesterday from 12-3 pm. Landed this king about 2:30 on a trolled anchovy with no flasher.

Since it was stinking hot with absolutely no wind yesterday, I had to take a break from pedaling to jig for awhile during lunch, then back to trolling. I think I went through 1 1/2 litres of water and was down to shorts, t shirt and life jacket after an hour.
