I went to Lake Sequoyah Sunday evening and fished for four hours and only caught one small fish and then I found this top.

Then it was on. I caught about 20 in the next hour, nine were keepers, and then as fast as it turned on it was over.
Nice pic. There aint many out here with nerves for a kayak. Looks like a good set-up
Yep, I would be wet and lose all my fishing equipment.Quote:

You oughta enter that photo in the contest that is going on right now! See top of Arkansas Forum for information. I looked at it the other day and the pics were mostly kayaks. Prize is about $175 worth of Bobby Garland stuff. The winner is selected by vote of Slab's family. Neat rig you have there, and thanks for the post and the pic.
MB4850, we need to hook up and make a trip over to Wister lake together. If you haven't ever been, it's worth the drive.
I cant remember the last time I saw water that calm. Cool pic. Congrats on the catch.
I've never been to Wister lake but I've heard of it. Would love to go. Believe me that was a calm between 30mph gusts. I actually caught two doubles that day. That was the first time I had really tried spider rigging. I have done a little trolling and was sort of successful but I've always just jig fished with a 10' jig pole. That's my passion, but that day,that place, spider rigging was the way to catch fish.
Up close and personal with the fish, that looks like huge one-on-one fun. And what a great way to stick it to the gas price man, congrats.
Neat looking rig, thanks for posting.
I know kayak fishing ain't for everybody. I've been crappie fishing for 15 years and only kayak fishing for them since October of last year, but I've caught more limits of crappie from my kayak than I ever did from my motor boat. Maybe I'm just enjoying it more and fishing harder I don't know, but I enjoy the exercise and the fishing.
I can honestly say that I never thought I'd hear the above phrase.Quote:

Awesome pic thanks for posting.
It is cool. I used to fish from a pero when I was a kid. I would strap my rods to my motorcycle and ride to a friends lake and use their pero (I don't know how to spell it LOL) to fish. I always top water fished for bass with tiny torpedos. Great times for sure! do you paddle that boat with your feet ?
Yes, It's a Hobie Outback and has fins like a penguin that flap back and forth left and right as you push the pedals forward and back. I can turn the nose into the wind and lightly pedal and just sit on top of a brush top and jig it till it's empty. Sounds easy don't it lol. RCC I have more rod holders I can use up to 4 rods for spider rigging, but after Sunday I've decided 2 may be a plenty. If anyone is really interested there are others on here kayaking for crappie. We have a new forum here called "Kayaks Canoes and other small watercraft. Yea Strip, when I was a kid I made a tube boat out of straps and an old truck tire and would tote that thing for miles to a small lake and fly fish for bream and bass. Man those were some fun times. Our bait of choice was a devil horse.
That is pretty neat man... Looks like some fun in yo face action!!! Good setup for sure!!!
That's a nice rig but I have never ever mounted one. Like a few others, I'd probably get so excited that I'd wind up in the lake with everything else. Those types of encounters are what make the world go 'round! Thanks for posting. AJ
