Thread: Kayak Trip Report, Lilly Pond/Cain Slough

Cains slough is hard to fish from the bank you would have to walk through the woods to get to it,you can fish the small creek we call snake creek,but my best advice would be to fish the river

Sorry for the delayed response, I was traveling yesterday. You might get a few from the bank where the creek connects like others said, but Lilly is primarily a flat bottom/kayak area. The secret to catching fish there is covering lots of water. I float jugs for catfish or spider rig for Crappie.

Thanks everyone

Always enjoy your posts and keep thinking I need to get a kayak. I am curious as to whether you used the kayak this trip. Trying to reconcile in my mind how you managed that many coolers???

SeaRay,

I used my Native Ultimate 12 kayak with one cooler behind my seat and an egg crate in front between my feet. I returned to my vehicle twice to transferred fish into larger coolers in the truck (with ice on top) before finally returning the final time to leave for the day. Your right though, the preferred way would be a 12 or 14 foot flat bottom, three or four dozen jugs and a couple of 128 quart coolers pushed around by a trolling motor. I had around 60 pounds of catfish fillets that I gave to a friend yesterday, she was on the way to spend Memorial Day weekend with family. Her parents still love to eat fish, but find it difficult to get on the water anymore.

I started to take some photos, but realized I had to many fish and it would turn into a slimy mess. Here's a couple before I started.

Nice looking mess of fish.wish I could get on some like that.really think I'm about to get me a kayak.hope so anyway.all depends on how I do in a music contest this weekend.yall keep your fingers crossed!!
