Would a OK Trident 13 be a good fit

Sounds good,  early spring Walleye can be a game of patience but like I said earlier it is the time to get the big ones.  Alot of the spring holes are close to launch points too.  Can't wait to get a boat so I can try all the ideas in my head

I can so relate to that statement!

Except for the wait for the boat part...

It's funny how I'll go out on the water with a head full of ideas on different lures or tactics but end up mostly using the tried and true.

lol, i do the same thing spot.I've taken bait out with me on the big blue a few times with plans on baiting up a big ling and it comes back unused. If it ain't broke...

P.S. you such a threadjacker spot....

Well, it's been somewhat broke until your recent lingster catches.  You should try a plug cut herring for the lings, like salmon mooching, but with a shorter leader.  I've been out jigging rubber worms before, only to see a PB mooching herring pull up some nice lings, while I struggle to even get a bite.  Something about a spinning herring darting off the bottom ... hungry fish can't resist it!!!

Now I have a paddle question for you all.  Six feet tall is right on the line for either a 230cm paddle or 240cm paddle so is it better to error on the long side or the short side?

Not sure I agree that 6' tall is right on the line for 230 or 240.  I know very few SOT kayak fishermen that paddle a 240.  If you're new and have no idea what fits you best, I'd reach for a 230.

I'd say 230 as well. I'm just shy of 6', and except for a couple really wide boats I like a 230 just fine.

I've got a 240 paddle and I'm 5'9"... looks like I might have gotten some bum advice along the way.    I think I remember reading somewhere that a 240 is the baseline size for SOT's due to the fact we sit higher.

At 5'9 and 220, I find a 230 just right for me and my Big Game

Thanks for all the replies that is the reason I am posting these questions here.  I got the six foot thing from the Werner fit guide.  Truth be told I could get anything and not know the difference cause I'm such a newbie, but I'm trying to shorten the learning curve a little by getting some good info.  The first hand info from people with experience is much appreciated.

Many (most?) of us have only been here for the past year or two. Your newbieness isn't so new to us...

Honestly, I can't imagine to big a difference between a 230 and 240 paddle.  I think blade shape probably matters more between those two sizes.  I'd say get whichever one you want that is reasonably affordable and paddle it for a while.  If you don't like it sell and pick up another one.  My Aqua Bound Manta (nylon blade w/ aluminum shaft) was pretty cheap and I don't really have any complaints.  If I upgraded, it would be for aesthetic reasons.
