   Nice Rig!!

It is definitely time as far as I'm concerned In fact it's past due.
I've had the yak out twice but nothing is really GOOD happening right now. Walleyes on the dams but I'm not kayaking those 
Our weather has everything whacky right now. 70's one day and then 30'ds the next. Up and down, storms, etc. The river temps just wont stabilize, and therefore it's delaying the bass spawn.

How do ya like the new rig? She's a beaut!

I'll drag mine out this week for some work, and hopefully in the water by next week. The LM Bass should be bedded up by now. 🥰

Ah, walleyes might be a blast in a kayak (I have never fished for or caught one.)

The Walleye wouldn't be the challenge. Bowfin (dogfish) and Gar are the real challenge in a kayak.
The Walleyes up here are biting by the dams. The Locks and Dams. Which is a huge hydraulic mechanism that spans the width of the river. The water is different heights on each side. They open the gates on one side and allows barges and boats to enter a walled pool. They lift or lower the water to match the other side in that walled section only, lifting or lowering the boats inside and then open the gate and let them out the other side.
The turbulence is absolutely incredible during this. Nothing you want to be near in a kayak.
Walleye fisherman in boats typically have their motors in gear during jigging for Wallayes by the dams because the raising and lower of the water when opening and closing sucks you towards the rollers.
