soccplayer07 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I'm going to try to get out on the river mid week. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 This thread has fallen to sleep. Yall wake up!! Traveler, have you had any time up there on the Potomac yet? If its anything like down here, I'm guessing cold and murky. You got that right, it was. I went out on 3/10 to Aquia Harbor; the weather was great but the water all through Aquia was murky, and I could not buy a bite. At some point my alternator went out and then the fun started, I drained my cranking battery and a deep cycle before I got to the launch. I can't recall if I posted that story or not; it's still on going.

Super User Teal Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 Oh man, that is horrible. Im hpoing to make a trip up there before the meet and greet. Quote

Super User Teal Posted April 10, 2013 Super User Posted April 10, 2013 I can put two co angler on mine too. Quote

Super User Teal Posted April 12, 2013 Super User Posted April 12, 2013 IIt works out well. This way if any of the Kayak guys wants to take take some time on a larger boat then they can. Quote

soccplayer07 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Hit the Pohick on Sunday. We caught 7 or 8. The water was really stained. Temps ranged from 64-68*. You can see the grass starting to come in and the pads are just below the surface. Can't wait! Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted April 15, 2013 Super User Posted April 15, 2013 Those yak people are kinda strange......you sure you wanna do that? lol !!!  J/K yak'ers J/K !! you know we cant wait to meet you guys and have fun with ya !!! Of course we are strange...why else would we take a boat 12' long and fit the same amount of gear and electronics you power boaters do and then paddle under own power.....the throw in the fly fishing ones and I am not even sure I would want to share a boat Quote
CPBassFishing Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I'll have a yak by the time of the trip so I may be able to fish out of that. I would prefer to go on a bass boat for the first time though. Quote

After i solve the equation of new electronics for my bass boat, im probably gonna actively start getting seat time kayaks and hope to buy one with my christmas bonus. So 2014, ill be a part time yakker! CP, im gonna make sure we can buddy up at the meet and greet, i want to see what you are made of!!! ...and if you bend one my hook points, im going to send you swimming... just kidding buddy. And you are welcome to fish with me. Nitro, it must have been a slow week if you are instigating with the yakkers, if one of those guys hits you with their over sized forearms, you wont be able to make the meet and greet. Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted April 16, 2013 Super User Posted April 16, 2013 Not quite the same amount of gear but you would be surprised at how much stuff people take. As a matter of fact I need to do some rigging on my kayak to make it a little more streamlined and take better videos. Quote

Â Â I will say this much for you guys, the tallant that it takes to get your bait to an area while in the seating position is one that I wish not to even attempt, it's quite impressive to watch you guys and gals !!! The flip side is the same for us too. My dad has a river jet boat and when I fish with him it is always a struggle for me to keep boat position using a trolling motor and having the ability to move around without worrying about knocking something into the drink. It is also harder to get in the right position and stay there when in my kayak I can get right up on a boulder and stop myself or jump out and beach my kayak or tie it to myself. Different strokes for different folks but if I could use a river jet boat here I would get one for sure Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 That's alright Nitro, when you guys get your boat stuck , I can tow you out with my Pro Angler  Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted April 19, 2013 Author Super User Posted April 19, 2013 LOL !! Â I would like to see that myself !!.....hhhhhmmmmm, kinda makes me want to get stuck just to watch you pull my lard butt out of the muck lol !! Â Thats ok though, I will have a few cold ones to share with ya after I watch you do all that work back at camp....what? you didnt think I was going to let you do all that for nothing did ya? Â There is no way I could sit in one of those things and fish the way you guys do, shucks, I am stiff and sore from getting out of bed in the mornings with an avg. of about 5 hrs sleep, a couple hours on that thing would put me in the hospital lol !!!
