Monday,2-17,mitchell,hatchett creek backwater,yak report

[chuckster]

Right off lost a good tangler,,I figure a spot or a stripe,came off before I saw him.Water was fair color in the main flow,,murky adjacent to my launch point at barretts,,,Kept 1,the other 6 dinks were teeney guys. Most 16 ft. deep in 20 fow,All hit bg blue ice baby shad in spite of multiple colors on the rigs,,,least I got to play with the yak,,tight lines

[chuckster]

yep,,doesn't rain in the am.may go looking for the big gals closer to deeper water,,tight lines

Hatchett creek is beautiful back in there. What kind of yak do you have? I am looking to get one before too long (hopefully)

[chuckster]

its an ocean endeavor, made for bass pro shop on a prowler 13 mold,,wet ride but tracks well without rudder tho its factory set up for one...just waiting for monk to ship my glass ht panfish rods,,then hit it,,these rear mounted flyrods are not compatible with my rodholders,they should be here tomorrow or fri,,tight lines

[wahanlin]

Thanks. I want to get a sit on top that can handle a little chop on the water, and that i can mount a few rod holders in for spider rigging. How long of rods are you gonna use? Good luck to ya

three 12 ft,one nine, for vertical jigging,,figure I can troll 3,,,jigs or crankbaits the way the boat is set up now,,and still have enuff holders for net and gopro monopod mount..if academy has any left,the pescador 12 ft are reviewed pretty well for the money,,they are made by a subsidiary (pescador) off a 2008 wilderness system tarpon mold,,,,search texas kayak fishermen for feedback on boats,,,if possible paddle fore you purchase,,just my take
