Some days I don’t feel ordinary! Fish pic
 

This past Tuesday.

I fooled a big bass to eat my bait. I think I fooled two more but I lost the like a rookie.

My kayak has been a profoundly positive purchase to my (mental)well being. 7lb! My secret lake. Typically have it to myself. :). I won’t even take people I know and like.

Nice fish.

Thanks, I've just got the geotag location off your pic. Great looking lake.

(Haha, not really.)

Nice catch. Who took the picture? Let’s see some pics of your kayak…looks like you’ve got it well outfitted for fishing. I’m a little jealous.

AI, no question.

:cool:

Nobody used to believe me when I drew pictures of my big ol' bass either :D

Awesome! I feel like Kayaking would be a very enjoyable way to go (even without the fishing). And when I took my grandsons fishing a couple of weeks ago, I thought to myself, "huh, this fishing stuff isn't so bad." Any time as a kid that I went fishing, I was always bored, but, apparently, as an adult, I could enjoy it.

So, kayaking + fishing seems like a very good time. And your favorite lake sounds like a winner if you've usually got it to yourself.

Are you taking them home and eating them or do you usually throw them back? (I'm assuming you're eating the keepers)

Nice catch.

Steve I was gonna suggest on that thread that yer boys might enjoy "getting on the water" even more than actually fishing! I had to be that way for years even after I had a bass boat...

Cliff makes it look easy ;)

that pic is just a screenshot of a video from my goPro. I dont have many kayak shots. haha. no geotag. :D. but my boat is fully fitted for me.

@911 rod. still prespawn. but anyway now.

I’ll check the tracker on your car.

Yeah, I'd considered taking the canoe when we went, but getting the canoe onto and off of the top of the Outback by myself (they are small and young) was going to be a bear. But I could see that end up being enjoyable.

Nice fish! Are you running a fish finder on a kayak??

Yeah ... the cheatin' bastid is using a little bitty "depth finder" ... learn the contours, etc.

HIS bass need a "big screen" to view ;)...

I used mine rarely over 27 years on my boat .... shallow waters that I knew well .... from years of "casting" :D

When ya catch one like that ... I kiss her on her big ol' mouth and let her go asap...

Go spawn :)

I am. I am not good reading it.

I pay attention to water temp, and depth. that is about it. my unit isn't a great one. I cant tell what is down there. is it a bush? is it a school of fish? and it is usually already behind me anyways SOMEWHERE.

the new fish finders with sonar....crazy. but that is next level I won't go. the battery is too much for me.

turkey hunting tomorrow, and if I can wake up and make the long drive without falling asleep in killing myself, ,,I am going fishing Monday.

my wife has a Dim Sum day with the ladies in the city and she invited me to go. I asked, 'will I be required to talk about my feelings?"

"yes, maybe"

nope...there is one poor husband going. he will be bummed. hahahha...sister hood of the traveling pant. nope

Live Scope? I know nothing about such a thing. :D My good friend runs that on his boat.

ROFLMAO!

You should sit there, eat, and grunt. Maybe the occasional "good!" or "bad!" in a Tim Allen/caveman grunting voice.

Many years ago (~10) the missus and I were in San Fran, because I had a work thing where it was nice to bring her along for the evenings and lunches. We went to some dumpling place down in the "business/financial district". It was packed, and servers would come around with a cart loaded with a bunch of different kinds of dumplings. you'd say, "some of those, and some of these, and some of those other ones." It seemed like they had 20-30 different types, although it may have been less. It reminded me of the dumpling version of Fogo de Chao, and was just as good (but far cheaper).

OMG, it was SO AWESOME! I think we ended up having lunch there 3-4 times because they we all so tasty. I'd cut off a couple of toes to have someplace similar around here.

yup. this is what they are doing. some fancy place. we considered this place for our wedding dinner but it exceeded our budget by a huge margin. hahah...

not worth the shop talk with a bunch of nurses. last time, they talked about vagi...nevermind.

Nice catch Vash!!

My Kayak has been one of my best investments for many reasons.
There is something sooo satisfying about loading it up with overnight camping gear and paddling away to a remote camping spot or just day tripping.

I'm not a fisherman so my waterborne trips are more about just getting outdoors.

I still hike and do some backpacking too but the left knee is not completely reliable these days. Arms, shoulders and sense of balance still are:)

I'm not like vash ... any of y'all are welcome to fish in my ponds full of bass... lots of friends have.

Then we visit the plot of woods where the deer thrive too...

May they all RIP :D

I'd love to have a kayak like yours and the places that you have to take it.

I do have a place to take something like that, although it's a one way trip. I've done it once with a grandson, son-in-law, and myself in an inflatable boat which was a bear. Then we got a canoe (free) and did it once in that which was much better. The problem is that we start too late, and do it in a part of the year when it's too hot so the grandson complains before we get to the end, so the last ⅓ - ½ is a slog. It's ~6.5 miles and takes, I think, 3-4 hours.

I'm not sure if we could do any fishing or not. I suspect we could. The last time that we went in the canoe, I thought "this is so much better than the big inflatable, but I'll bet a kayak would be even better (obviously, wouldn't work with the grandson).

Nice bass! If you pour split shot down its gullet you can turn it into an 8 pounder. I saw it on you tube!

Seahawk is yer guide ....

I'm a novice... but have a few whitewater trips in rubber "funyaks", and slow and leasurely in a brown water canoe (The New River in NC) ... as a kid ... those would have excited me ... fishing would not have :D

One-way-trips .... ya do needs a ride ... to either drop-off or pick-up spot ;)

I looked up, "Waldo's Camp"...looks like a neat area:

https://www.waldoscamp.com/

There are a lot of different kayaks for every type of need, it is really quite an an embarrassment of riches. My neighbor has at least 10 different kayaks so I only need my old Perception River Chaser from 1990:cool:

Skip's ride is rancho deluxe.

Fun thread.

Probably Yank Sing.

Ate at least one lunch there on every trip to SF, back in the day.

I went Turkey hunting in my Series 80 this morning :

Driving out.

Good luck, Vash!

Striper spawning season is on at the other lower Colorado river too They swim up river and group up at the Palo Verde dam. Caught a couple on the 1st 100 degree day of the year. They make excellent fish tacos.

Probably since this was your post in my old thread

That's a lot of birds. Did you get any?

lol...

That ain't turkey hunting! That's turkey shoot'n! That's almost cheating! :D

Did ya get out and start singing Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving Song to call em' in??

Mom was getting some water two nights ago and looked out her kitchen window at 11:30 ... saw 7 deer in single file just moseying down the side of the road... midnight buffet time ... right on schedule :)

Went out to the mailbox yesterday to get the mail…I think an osprey might have dropped his lunch! A little finger mullet. Had to yell at the dog to “Leave it”!
