Night Fishing From the Kayak
I didn’t look at the weather as I headed to the lake, but I did pay attention to the time. I knew I would be out after dark and prepared (or so I thought) by making sure that I had my light pole with me. I launched the kayak, started paddling and realized that the…
DaBomb + Anchor Wizard + LiteTackle
For long days on the water, I really like having an anchor on my kayak. The obvious use is to hold in a spot to get casts into the right area. I find it just as useful when doing other things in the boat: handling a fish, tying on a new lure, reaching into the…
MoYak September 2021 Online – Week 1
It’s a week into the September Online 2021 (tourneyx.com) tournament. I’ve been getting out on the water as often as I can! To the point that I am even keeping my kayak on the cart ready to go! If I have a couple free hours, I’m going for some bass! I’m currently sitting in 4th…
Back on the Kayak for September
I’m getting back out on the kayak to fish for September in the MoYak September Online 2021 (tourneyx.com). August has been packed with work, back to school, kids activities, and just enjoying being out on the water in the pontoon. I’ve been fishing from the boat or pontoon for the last few weeks and I…
Broken Arm Bank Fishing
Sawyer broke his arm last Friday! That kept us out of boats of any type as he cannot resist the water when we’re in a boat. We went old school and took to a trail and fished from the bank! Sawyer is now in just a brace for the next 6 weeks. Neither fracture were…
Kayak Tournament Fishing Update
The MoYak 2021 July Online Challenge (tourneyx.com) is done and I did not end up where I wanted. My goal was top 50%, and I was definitely short of that (by quite a bit). I know why. I know what I could do better. I just need to make it happen. Due to timing, I’m…
Caught Some Fish, Fought a Tree
Trying to get some big ones on the board! I’m really lagging on the MoYak July Online Challenge and went out hoping to get some 20 inchers. Spoiler … I didn’t get any huge ones, but I did move from 28th to 24th place. Bonus for you: lots of hilarious fails! I catch a log!…
Fishing Report – From the Boat With Sawyer
Sawyer and I took the bass boat out to Lake Jacomo. We put in at the Marina and headed north from there. We saw a ton of common carp, but nothing else. We then headed east and went back in a bunch of the coves. We were getting bites in 4-5′ of water mostly just…
Fishing Report – Watkins Mill Lake
The participants in the Mo-Yak Tournament Fishing Series seem to be mostly south of KC. On the tournament’s Discord server, Austin asked if anyone else was from KC and I responded. We chatted a little and met up at Watkins Mill Lake on Saturday, March 20th. I downloaded a map from Genesis Maps and sent…
