I should have mentioned in my original post that I don't have a fishing kayak, so I don't have peddles to help stay in a certain areas. I'm going to probably get at least one trolling mount and see how that goes, it'll at least increase my time with lures in the water. Thanks again!

Yes, the wind is not your friend when trying to get a bait to the bottom, especially in the deep holes.
We tried taking some temperature readings from our 22’ tritoon boat, of where the thermocline might be using an ice fishing camera (heavy camera) and by the time the camera was down 30’ we were 50’ away and the cable was almost straight out to the side! Has to be dead calm to jig the deep holes!
