Bass Yakker

Awesome fish! Sorry about the foot. That's a bummer.

My name is pretty self explanatory too. I like to fish for bass from a kayak and I like to talk about bass fishing. My previous name was beginner yak angler which is still true and even less creative. The avatar is my pic of my kayak before I got some actual rod holders on it.

McDaniel Lake would be another place to try. I don't know too much else about catfishing other than what you've already tried. Sorry.

Took the yak to the James River upriver from Lake Springfield Friday evening. Caught 2 fish. Caught a medium size one on a t-rigged worm and caught a big one (well big for my standards) on a jerkbait that is my PB so far. Sorry pictures are not the best. First 2 pics are the bigger one. Last pic is the medium one.

This website is pretty cool. You can view old and fairly current topo maps and layer them if you want. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/#4/40.01/-100.06

Dang! Some pretty plump ones right there!

If you get a kayak that you can stand up in that may possibly work. Depends if the arthritis is made worse by using those body parts or by being in one position for too long. The ones you can stand up in are heavier so putting in and taking out could be a problem depending how you are transporting it but they make solutions for that too. Wouldn't have to spend money on gas, oil and repairs this route either.

Very Nice Fish! Congrats!

I'm very jealous. Enjoy it and thanks for sharing!

Also add a boonie or safari style hat and you're golden.

Nice! Yeah, I would say that counts.

Bass fishing tackle kit from Walmart - actually has a few things that should be useful. Yum ball cap and long sleeved fishing shirt rated for spf 30 or something. I'm spoiled.

Good report. We all gotta get our fishing fix every now and then
