    Default Hella Great Day!!!


    Since it was my birthday today and I'm not getting any younger, I decided to fishing today! (Go Figure) I was at my favorite Ft Riley bass pond with the kayak in the water and ready to go before daylight. I was using a Booglebug popper on my fly rod and the first fish I caught was a huge Redear Sunfish followed by a fat Green sunfish and then a big bluegill. I finally caught a bass at the end of the damName: birthdaybass.jpg Views: 584 Size: 40.0 KB (sorry for the poor pic quality, I was by myself)
    I ended up catching 5 species of fish on the poppers today including a small catty!Name: sep16catty.jpg Views: 464 Size: 8.7 KB
    Great morning!
    Next I attended JCLT's production of "The Fiddler On The Roof" in which my wife and eldest step-daughter are performing! Great show!

    Then I rushed home and hooked up the boat and hit Milford around 5:30 Caught 9 crappie( only 3 fatty keepers) and a big white bass before releasing the fatties and heading home!Name: 9-16-2012 crappie.jpg Views: 528 Size: 40.9 KB

    I use my Iphone for taking pics and keep it in my pocket! I have a very stable (tunnel hull) kayak that I can't see myself flipping over.

    I have a Native Watercraft Mariner 12.5 with Propel pedal drive and I love it!!!Name: photokayak.jpg Views: 686 Size: 53.3 KBName: photokayak2.jpg Views: 502 Size: 66.3 KB
    I rarely ever have to paddle it except in shallow water!!

    Thats such a cool set-up there Joe, a guy could duck hunt out of that pretty good too. Sounds like a great time and hope you had a Happy B-day. Always enjoy reading your posts and scoping your pics. Speaking of pics, get those background shots a coming
