conorsixtakc Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Had a limited amount of quality time on the water this weekend... Fishing around the 7mm on a sunny summer weekend out of a kayak isn't easy! Much respect to anybody out there that does it well and often (and lives to tell about it!!) The back of my cove was just full of baby shad Friday. Couldn't do anything with a spinnerbait... Got there just as it started getting hot again so that may have had something to do with it, but caught two decent schooling largemouths over deeper water with a Norman Deep N. One more dink with the Deep N off the back corner of a dock. Threw worms, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and spooks all in the back of my cove in an effort to stay out of traffic, but just couldn't put anything together... So I decided to try the deeper rougher stuff... Ended up catching two goodins off a deeper dock out on the main arm (over 18-20FOW) on a half ounce black & blue football jig... The first one spit the jig right back at me in front of the kayak after coming up quick and jumping, but the second one stayed buttoned. Not many photos to show, but successfully fishing that football jig in deep rough water, in the middle of the day, and out of a kayak felt very rewarding. MOsmallies 1
MOsmallies Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Nice man! Now the guys in the 21 ft Rangers can't complain about the waves! Way to tough it out and stick a good one! conorsixtakc 1
Members Omega jig bass Posted July 14, 2015 Members Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah but kayaks don't do 50 mph in rough water.
fishinwrench Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Very nice! Good thing you didn't hook one of these while jiggin' from the yak. MOsmallies and conorsixtakc 2
nomolites Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Nice fish guys! Good on you fishing from a yak on LOZ; I did notice some on "NWW" but otherwise LOZ is ROUGH. Mike conorsixtakc 1
conorsixtakc Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah but kayaks don't do 50 mph in rough water. Believe me I would have killed for one this weekend, and probably boated more quality fish on that pattern if I had a way to cover more water, and a trolling motor to keep me in place. The rough water isn't so bad when you're catching em
Old plug Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Be real careful in that Yak. Some of these fools on the weekend would eat you and the yak alive. They have very limited forward visability in those big boats for anything close fairly clos to them.
