I was didint know so many people loved to kayak, or wanted to get into it, so i figured why don't we have one thread where people can ask questions, give tips, and write ups, or what ever els is related to kayaking.
im doing a write up because it has ben brought up what are the must haves for their kayak, well the only thing that came to mind when i read the thread was a trolly system, man was i wrong. you really just have to go threw the actions and take mental notes to truly know. so hear is a rundown of my fishing day.
all this talk on kayak fishing gave me the bug some kind of fierce. so yesterday i loaded up the yak n hit the old honey hole, and man im i glad i did. but before you hit the water it truly starts the night before. organization is key for me when it comes to kayak fishing, i know there aint much to organize, but thats my point each piece of equipment plays a vital role in catching fish. so the night before load everything up, as much as u can, lay it out n b ready to hit the road in the morning asap. make a check off list trust me i wish i would have i got everything but forgot my anchor DUHHH. thats like forgetting to charge your battery for your trolling motor. well assuming u have everything set up the first thing i recommend is eat a big breakfast, that 3hr fishing trip normally turns into 6 or 7, and take snacks.
well i got everything loaded and i hit the water take your time unlading nothing worse than breaking a pole before you even touch the water. well i headed up stream and caught a couple small bass, i didint have my anchor, but i did have a push pole which is just a mop handle i got from the store a another must have , n shallow water i just push it down a scupper hole to keep me n place. once i fished to the dam i headed back down stream where it gets deeper as i passed some logs something compelled me to cast over it and im glad i did. as i was retrieving a big old girl came out of the deep n crushed my lure. on rivers i like to use a watermelon red flake creature bate with a weighted offset hook so i can use it as a top water swim bait or i can fish the bottom with it like a jig. any who after a little song n dance with her i get her n the boat, man was i hollering on that little creek. she must have been 7 maybe more along 8lbs biggest fish ive caught n my yak. didint measure her but she was a little above me knee and reaches down past my ankle. write after i let her go i cast to the other side of the bank n i catch another toad this was along the 5lb mark. after that i continue down stream and catch some more small bass. the great thing about kayak fishing is its an ever learning process. somethings i learned is keep sunscreen n your bag, also a large full brim hat n good polarized sun glasses, make a list of what you need to bring, and fish places you normally dont, also take your time your not n a race, no weigh n times just u n nature, its not like u have a SHO 250 on the back. just like bow hunting every fish you land is a trophy, don't matter if its a little rock bass or a 10pounder. i have a feeling i will b get n out a lot more this year, and im really excited, i hope to meet some of you as well on the water sounds like the boys n the dfw area r off to a good start as well. be safe n tight lines
my snacks, oh and dont bring chocolate it melts lol
jeeps loaded
thats y i have a jeep gets me to the places no one els can get to
to the passer looks like a shallow old stinky water
but it opens up nice
