Need Help, Where Is Blunk!

[Fishslayer88]

there is a ramp at mcCord but it is closed down, and y bridge is about 3.5-4 miles above blunks. Taylors is about 1 mi give or take a little up river from blunks if you have a 4x4 you can drive the trails up to taylors but if you do that watch the holes some are sticky.

Im gonna go fish in the morning idk if i will make my way up to blunks though i will probably go down stream.

and there really isn't much current at blunks the only thing that will be a problem for a kayak is bass boats rocking you around, but i havent been hearing many boats yet this year

Thanks for the directions. Sadly, I don't have a 4x4. When I was there, I was deeply aware of the limitations of my Ford Focus in such situations. I did see a jon boat flying through yesterday, which is what got me thinking about whether or not to kayak there. I'd like to think that most of the boaters wouldn't be total hosers if they saw a kayak, but you never know......

no i know, i live on that stretch of river and fish out of my canoe a lot.. sometimes it seems like people try to swamp your boat..

its not to bad though you just gotta watch out for DB's and point your nose into the wake

Ok, finally got down to Blunks yesterday morning. One word says it all. S.K.U.N.K.E.D. Not even a bite! I haven't had that bad day of fishing in a looooong time. I don't even think I have been skunked in a long time. I didn't even see anything swimming around in the clearer water. I found the place easy enough and it was only about an hour from my house in Neosho, but not sure I will make the trip again after that. We kayaked down to McCord Bend where we found the other boats that luanched out of Blunks and they weren't doing any better. A couple of them were only out there an hour and they left as well. Tough day is all I can say.

Sorry to hear that Ollie. Still early yet and that cold front probably pushed them scouts back down. Try it again around the first week of April. That's when the fishing for whites is normally the best

[rvconrad]

Ollie, what kind of kayak were you in?

[Fishslayer88]

i got 5 whites and 2 smallies just before dark on the rock bank down from blunks, And now that my rat killing is done im gonna head back down and see if i can do any good.

rvconrad there were two of us in yaks. I have a green Pam 100 and my neighbor was in a red one. We fished down that way fishslayer88, but we were there in the morning and afternoon.

they are really slow right now you cant even tell they are biting hardly the only way i was getting anything is by dragging a white slider along the bottom and when i could feel just a little bump i would slack my line and let them take off with it, got 4 more doing the same thing this evening.. but it is still pretty early in the season give it a few more weeks.
