Anyone fishing from inflatables?

I'm kind of new to the inflatable kayak thing, and most people where I live (Alaska) think I'm nuts to use a kayak of any sort for fishing.
Does anyone have any tips on setting up for trolling or still fishing from an inflatable? I'm using an Aire Super Lynx, 14 foot tandem kayak. They're super stable, but I'll be geared up with full paddling dry suit and PFD, because any water in Alaska can turn rough without warning.
Thanks for any advice!

I hope you post a photo of your setup. I'm thinking of getting an Aire Tomcat to go down rivers that my regular kayak can't do, and tie off for fishing.

One of the site advertisers, Sevylor, just came out with a fishing inflatable called the SportFisher. Inflatable, portable, can be paddled effectively or motorized with the smallest electric outboard. Important to me is that they are built like a Zodiac or Avon and only retail in the $700 zone. I have a few samples on the way and will let you know.
I like the Aire boats and their counterpart models but without the angler considered in design (far from it) I've only seen their models used as an exception without any clear fishing models to choose from. Of course, you may be that exception in the far North.
Thanks for contributing!
