Simple is best for me. I use my touring yak for fishing at the G spot or anywhere I take myself on the west coast, been to Hakai in it (ferry drop off, that was cool) and even fished Haida Gwaii on the east side and south Brooks Peninsula. I like being closed to the weather which the sit on tops don't offer. Here is a pic of my setup, no downrigger. I mooch with a banana weight and herring or spoon or troll a chovy and kite tail flash with a 16 oz slider. Fishing deep is a frustrating problem, so I do target the slack as much as possible. No net for the biggies, just gill them.
