Thread: Kayak Trip Report, I-65 Slough

callshy,

I'll have to drag you away from deer hunting this fall and show you chasing Crappie shallow for a day. You can use my extra kayak and it will be single pole work in 18 to 24 inches of water on scattered brush. You'll love it!!

I am sure I would. I have caught my share of shallow water fish as that is all I grew up fishing. I still go back to it at times, but in a slightly larger boat.

I've decide to keep fishing skinny water, I'll leave the big water and the boats that run 70MPH to the rest of you!

I can't get into the kayak thing. I believe it's the propulsion system that spooks me. I have a much larger girth than most of you. I guess that's why my kayak has a 150 Mariner. Maybe that's why ditch is killing us. We can't get into the holes he's fishing. I vote ditch basser for president.

You make me want to go buy a kayak. First I would have to learn how to keep from flipping it, then I would have to come to you for lessons

My second kayak is a Native Ultimate 12, stable as a rock (Z-man has stood up in it), a 350 pound capacity and the seat is basically the same as setting in a lawn chair with short legs. By the way superfly, I'm 46 years old and weight 241 pounds, not exactly skinny, LOL!

Got any tips for Blackwell swamp? Thinking about going there one afternoon after work in the next week or so.

I've only fished it a few times. Hard water to fish for crappie because of all the vegetation. shallow water and very clear. I'd guess it would be a great area for a weedless topwater for bass in the morning. There's some deep holes on the North side and the creek connecting to the lake on the south has open water and lots of shade.

Hard fish without a yak to get around.
