I was just telling my old year old son about this yesterday. He is just now getting into fishing and I told him how I would wake up at like 4am to watch Roland, Bill Dance and the other guys. I don’t even know if f those types of shows exist anymore….

Nice setup. I've been thinking about getting a milkcrate and attaching some rod holders. The only problem I'm having is that my storage area is to far back I don't think id be able to reach everything very easily. I have an Emotion Grand Slam Angler.

I love spinnerbaits and they are always my go to bait. I would use white with a Colorado blade. The retrieve I've had the most success with is reel five times pause for a two count then repeat.

I recently also started fishing again. The Sport sure has gotten high tech in just the last ten years. I have a pretty stressful and emotional job and fishing gets me away from all that. I fish out of a kayak and love it.

I broke my wrist a few years back so casting for hours at a time can take its toll . I purchased a lighter reel last year so now I'm good for about five hours.

That's great that you guys have that in common. My wife will go with me sometimes but I know it's not her thing.

Enphrared, fishing at James A Reed can be tough but it's a great place to walk the bank. I do t live to far from there. Shoot me a message next time you go out if you want someone to fish with.

I fished a strip pit recently that was covered with lilly pads all around the edges. I had alot of explotions on a Booyah pad crasher but I was unable to bring one in. I switched to a buzzbait and just casted along the edges and had alot of success.

Nice!! Gotta love those ponds!

Went to Lake Lenexa for the first time today. Only caught two small bass on a swimjig but pulled in about 50lbs of vegetation. That lake is covered in vegetation. From what everyone there was saying it's always like that. Still not a bad little lake and great for kayaks.

Went to Poague CA last night and picked a strip pit that was covered in Lillypads all around the edges. I decided on using my Booyah Pad Crasher that I had just bought recently . I have never used a frog before but I made it my goal this year to get out of my comfort zone since I almost always fish spinnerbaits or A 7.5 worm texas rigged. I watched a lot of videos on the way to use a frog and It seemed to be getting a lot of interest with numerous explosions on it but I don't know if I was setting the hook to early or to late but I was unable to hook into one. So I got the d**n thing stuck in the tree and had to break my line, luckily the frog fell right in my kayak so I didn't lose it. I decided to tie on a buzzbait and caught numerous smaller bass and nothing spectacular. Not even one of them went for 2#s. So far since deciding to learn new techniques and using different lures like the senko, shakeyhead and wacky rig, it has been a tough season so far. I think I will come out better in the end but d**n it's hard right now.

Summer just means fishing alllll night long!!!

I've been wanting to get my yak out on a river as well. I've been looking at doing a two day trip on the buffalo river but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Im kind if an outlaw yakker like that. I **** to live in the edge lol jk. My buddy lives on the lake and I usually just put in from his back yard. All the residents do it and I haven't ever seen them get hassled. I think im going to wake up and go to Truman in the morning. Hopefully the fish will cooperate! The last reports I got looked rough going so we shall see!

I didn't realize that they didn't open the gate till 8. I dont usually put in at the ramp. One of the luxuries of having a kayak. I guess they dont open it earlier because of the houses? I would have guesses they opened at 6. I hate the gates all together. I wish They would just do away with them.
