Thread: Broke the dry spell and broke in the new yak.

Took off this morning around 30 degrees, water 47. Much to my surprise, I was late the party. Thought everyone would be deer hunting.
I launched the kayak at Pretty Bob. It was a little breezy but manageable. I set the yak up for spider rigging. With the gentle waves from the wind it makes the long poles dance like crazy. No bites until I got back in the cove and calmer water.
I wasn't finding any crappie in the open. As I was getting more comfortable navigating and controlling my speed I worked into the timber.
I watched a guide put a couple limits in his boat near me. He was live scoping and running 1 single pole and killing it! Which kind of killed me since my boat with all the toys including live scope was just sitting at home all cozy and warm.
But I wasn't out there for that. I wanted to get familiar with the kayak and have a peaceful day.
By mid day I had pretty good control but had to dip the trees. 1/2 oz double hook setup get's it done, but not advisable. I should have put the long poles away and set up some jigs, but I'm stubborn.
Finally had enough fun, brought home 7.

Beautiful!
