Location: Grand Marais, MN | I do it frequently in minnesota. It is definitely no time (probably) to be using bulldawgs or anything like that, but on small rivers and on lakes without boat ramps it is killer. we have hit some completely untapped water on kayaks with good success. Often a good time to use scaled down baits and lighter gear (7.5 foot rods are good size for kayak).
of course, this is a time where being alone is never a good idea. We always go out at least as pairs and one guy has a frabil cradle to handle the fish. When you land one it is good to make a team effort to handle the fish safely for its sake and your own. Definitely a lot easier to get a musky hook stuck in you when you are that close to the water and an angry musky.
I generally dont stand on the kayak, but i do kneel on the seat backwards to get a better chance to spot follows.
Good luck definitely try it if you get the chance.
