haggard Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Good news: Got on the lake on the yak Bad news: 10-15 mph winds with gusts to 25 Good news: fished the protected coves Bad news: not even a nibble Good news: No good news Bad news: Gust caught bimini top, snagged rod & reel in holder behind my seat, launched it overboard Good news: Guy on shore saw it and says hey you lost a rod, and it was in relatively shallow water in a narrow channel Bad news: Forgot power cord for the fish finder, can't mark the spot Good news: Guy on shore tells me where to go Bad news: Wind is blowing me off the spot Good news: Had 2 other combos, combed the site Bad news: Came up empty Good news: Of the 3 combos on hand, the one that went over was the cheapest Best news: Continued fishing and finally landed ONE largemouth. Not a biggie but this day would have sucked a lot more without that. Bonus points: Bald eagle sighting. 8 3 1 Quote

FishingGeekTX Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Haggard : 1 Lake: 0 I almost lose a rod nearly every time I get in a small boat, I can't imagine a yak. I already bought some of those Cush-it rod floats for my expensive combos, because I have dunked those a few times and caught them at the last second. Makes me think if I get a boat, I should just put a snorkel/mask in storage... Quote

From now on, the snort-kel and mask ride in the dry storage bin at the front of the yak, always. What a difference between snort-kel/mask vs blindly scraping the bottom with a pokey stick or casting randomly with the treble hooks. No comparison. It's a whole new world under the surface, really amazing. Even with the fear factor of those killer turtles in the muck down there 1 Quote
