Decided to fish the kayak. That way there is not as much to remember to take along.rotfl Perfect morning for it. No wind, slow out going tide and a little overcast. Shooting docks in a yak is really fun. Your right there on top of the water where you can shoot that jig way back under the docks. Ended up catching 11 specks and a few brim.

GREAT pictures...my day wasn't as productive. Caught 6 bass and hooked a ton of gar....only caught one 11" speck. With the water up about a foot I poled my way back into horseshoe off lake carlton. Haven't been there in three years (low water). Seems like the gar took over during that time. Use to be a good summer speck hole.
A few more pictures like this and I'm gonna pull the trigger on a yak. That looks like a ton of fun. I use to have a "Sneak" boat but sold it to get a Tracker since it was limited in where I could go. Wish I had kept it, so a Yak seems like a good replacement. Those shady docks should hold a ton of fish. Good report.
PS
Just curious, is the DF transducer mounted to the PVC I see on the left side of the Yak?? How is it rigged?
Nice day! And yep a very simple day in a yak. Hey Pontiac, search youtube for ahtv I know he is in Hawaii but sure makes ya think about Miami.
Searay. yes that is my transducer mount. I used a 1/2" 45 and notched it to fit over the pad eye. Then took a long bolt and bent it to look like a J bolt. Drilled a hole in the 45 and attached the J bolt to the pad eye. Then I drilled the same 45 to put on the screw knob. That way you can swing up the transducer to a horizontal position.
Thats nuts. rotfl I don't think that kayak and shark should be used in the same sentence. :RoflQuote:

Nice job wish I had docks that had a 3 ft. gap like that to shoot under in my area would be a blast....
Went out this morning for a few hours. Only caught a few. But hey, I was on the water.

Hey Tim you put a 115 on a yak then when you do your hole shot on Talquin you land in Blackshear :Rofl
Nice pictures u guys. I was wondering what it like to be on the same level as the gators in that yak Russ?
I worry more about the cottonmouths then the gators.Quote:

I hope it don't happen but you won't be saying that when a big gator follows one of those hooked fish back to that Yak! That happened to me once in a canoe!Quote:
