Nice yak Felix. I bought one a couple of years ago in the sand color with the standard seat and its plenty comfortable,i spent nine hours in it on one outing last spring and i am 53. I looked on you tube and got some good ideas for making an anchor trolly and a milk crate dolly that comes apart so you can put it in the back of your yak.I may invest in that elevated seat that came with yours,it looks nice.

Put a dab of honey on an open wound,it will keep it from getting infected. (look up the benefits of raw honey and its healing practices) Next time take a big swig of Knob creek bourbon before removing the hook.

I bet that was his last outing good luck trying to talk him into going back out fishing with the guys again.

Number 1 in a bottle standing up in my kayak. Number 2 along the shore near a tree in a "tick" free area.

Most people don't have the patience to fish this way but i love using a jig as a search bait from shore. Most of my friends are power fisherman but i l love fan casting a jig from shore and slowly work it way back to me.I used to hear comments from my buddies about how long i takes me between casts but i love the feeling of the jig making contact with the bottom structure and the addicting feeling of that tap that Bankbeater was talking about. I also love the option with jig fishing to be able to toss it out and reel it back in fast like a spinnerbait or crankbait.

They also work good as a jig trailer.

I fish gin clear strip pits that resemble that and i have great success with a 4" wacky rigged yum dinger in watermelon color and yamamoto shad shape worms in green pumpkin and shad color texas rigged weightless and a 5/16 oz black & blue jig with a zoom u vibe trailer. Don't be afraid to go with other colors besides natural because i have caught a ton of bass in those clear pits on a 7" berkley power worm in blue fleck color as well as the black & blue color jigs,more so than the green pumpkin colored jigs.

Funny stuff! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b27_1398507755

Chow down some white castles or taco bell and then wait a couple hours and go for a long car ride.

A 5/16 oz black & blue jig with a zoom ultra vibe craw trailer in black sapphire color. I love the feeling of slow dragging a jig across the bottom and feeling the bottom through my rod.It can be a painfully slow process but it has caught me a lot of bass.

I like Sam's rock idea. I am going to have to try this the next time to avoid a verbal confrontation,be silent and lob a big rock and then move on.

Better that its the bait monkey and not the booze monkey or drug monkey.

Go Hawks!

I fish some gin clear strip mine pits that i can see the bottom a good 20 feet down and i use 10# power pro braided line in the moss green color without a leader. My two favorite killer baits are a 4" wacky rigged yum dinger in watermelon color and the yamamoto shad shape worm texas rigged weightless or on a drop shot. I hear guys going using a lot of natural colors in clear water but i have had great luck with a black & blue jig and a 7" berkley power worm in the blue fleck color also.

They probably edited out the big swig of makers mark bourbon he took before the hook extraction took place.

Correction ! Fishermen told me today that it is sag quarry east that has the fish kill.

I have heard from a couple different fishermen that they had a fish kill at sag quarry. One side seems ok but dead bass and other fish were seen floating on the west side if i remember correctly.

I was agreeing with this quote when i made my post above.

I agree. I fish gin clear strip pits and i use 10# power pro braided line in the moss green color without a leader for slow moving techniques like jigs and weightless plastics and drop shotting and i still catch fish regularly.

I fish a lot of ultra clear strip pits and my favorite lure is a wacky rigged watermelon yum dinger in the 4" size and the yamamoto shad shape worm texas rigged weightless. I also like throwing a 3' watermelon grub on a 1/8 jig head and swim it back to my kayak. I also do a lot of drop shotting with robo worms,centipedes,shad shape worm etc. A kayak is superb in gin clear water.

After reading about your sister in law i walked up to my wife and hugged her and gave her a big kiss.

It would have hurt worse if one of your fishing buddies would have told you that.
