Bummer, I have yet to go fishing this year. I got to get geared up for it, need a new fishing pole and lack of gas money is still making it tough to get to do things.

Whatever your situation, try to spend a few bucks on it... even a Snoopy zebco combo, beginner tackle kit & a dozen live worms, is enough to have some good luck... it will get you out & about, beats sitting around the house clicking a mouse on a slow day, ya know.

Finally went out in my new fishing kayak this past Friday. It is so sweet! Nothing but me and the nature. No motors or electronics to worry about. Just paddling into all the best spots on the lake not accessible by land and limited to bigger vessels. It's also funny that if I had a regular four door car or SUV I would need a rack on top. But I have an Acura Integra two door hatchback. Since the car has a lip where the trunk comes down the kayak is angled into the car and there is no risk of it sliding out. I just close the trunk all the way, tie it down and let the kayak stick out a foot and a half or so.
Caught five largemouths on my maiden voyage which was at Kill Creek Lake. For my purposes I can never see myself needed a $10,000 boat after this experience. The best way to describe fishing from the kayak is serenity now, insanity not later. |

I caught about a dozen rainbow trout this weekend! A local at the outdoor shop recommended that I use a clear bobber with about two feet of line attached to a tiny fly-thing that he made. It was great. I was skeptical that the miniscule hook on the fly would actually catch anything but it worked like a charm.

Handle fish as little as possible. Touching the fish removes the protective slime and makes them susceptible to infection. Last edited by loochy; 05-07-2012 at 11:44 AM.. |
