Darth-Baiter

I put everything in a dry bag. ‘’Glad you’re okay. I’m shopping cold water immersion clothing. Where I’m at the bass are deep. I’ll have to haul myself back in. Scary.

And on a jig! im still looking for my first jig bass.

I hope to try Comanche.

Dang. Nice bait. I’m gonna order some for dropshot As well. Thx.

I thought the small and thin hook were part of the program. It allows the Ned to float and the hook to penetrate easily.

I’m so sorry. I meant zman craws? Two beers! Lightweight.

Didn’t want to hijack the other (good question) thread. how about it? Too many appendages? Not finesse enough? I tried it once but they were biting another bait so well, I never gave it an honest try.

I thought about the transducer. I know guys that run FF with the transducer sitting a a wad of silicon glued inside their hulls. It never sees water. Dunno - just Food for thought. I thought about an ice chest full of cold water, but I already wired it into my kayak. Which involve crazy yoga moves. Removing it is difficult to stomach. What about the guys that mount them (transducers) to the trolling motor? They shut down between spots? Argh- this is too much. Haha. maybe a 10 hour fishing day is in order. I’ll pack a huge lunch. Hehe. Thank you everyone. Great forum.

chirp will scroll by, but down-scan will be a black screen I imagine. Think I’ll burn an image on the screen? I feel my Nocqua battery is running down faster than the math indicates. But I didn’t do well in me EE class.

Any public body of water. Shore fishing to boats. All open. I don’t know what it’s called, but it does sound interesting. ‘’that and those month long tournaments sound like fun. The month longs are KBF events I think. So kayaks.

Not sure. Is this still bass fishing “fall”? 60 deg days here. ‘I’m not getting skunked, but I’m also not impressing myself. I got three fish two days ago, one tonight in the hour I had to get my kayak out on the water. Tough tough tough! will fishing get even tougher January and February? I’m in NorCal. Suppose to rain Saturday, I do have good rain gear!

Got mine installed yesterday. Out on the water today. Mine is accurate. Learning the buttons has been surprisingly fast and easy. my nocqua battery is suspect tho.

I’m having bass-boat envy. Sick rides! here’s mine. Simpler times.

To be clear. I have the best wife. When I was single I had credit card debt and $2211.00 in my bank. Haha. She should have run for the hills. now? I’m at a level I never imagined possible. She bought me my kayak. we are a great team. She wants stuff moved or holes dug. Sure. Where and when ? I’m good with all of it. Hell, I’m Cinderella at my house. I cook and clean. She keeps the finances clean. It’s a good deal. she said I could buy a second kayak if I wanted. But I didn’t. I want the Hobie PA 360 in 12’. That’s a big chunk of cash. I’ll wait.

That’s the worst run forum ever. I can’t seem to get my email validation thru. Login is impossible and now my email is in this vortex of oblivion where I am locked in and can’t attempt a new membership. I like their Delta sub-forum. Haha. I guess I just lurk.

Ambushed. Total ambush. I was gonna go fish and then come home to remove an ancient potato-vine hedge from a wood fence destined for replacement. The fence contractor won’t touch the vines. Instead I moved everything around, organized, and then removed the ancient vine from the wooden fence. In my youth, I would have skated thru. Now, I’m so tired! Haha. I googled earth a new lake for tomorrow, but my kayak looks so heavy now. Maybe I should pretend to go fishing and sleep in my truck under a shade tree. btw - who grows vines in wooden fences anyways? It is a bad idea. I bought my house this way. From a crazy lady. She planted the vines AND BAMBOO! the moral of the story? Dont flake out on yourself and skip fishing

I have a Lowrance on the way. im probably not done shopping. But I’m on a kayak and swapping units is fairly easy and without drama. My Hobie is set up fir Lowrance which really compelled the choice.

I thought the ocean guys call it a “high-low” rig? at least the surf guys do. Same or diff?

Front; because you get first crack at the fish? or back: because you fo not have to drive at all. ? I like the back except the casting obstacles of the motor and power-poles. But it’s forced me to cast creative like

I have a Hook reveal 5 coming. I’ll look out for this and compare it to my handheld GPS. Thanks. I bought it from a store so I can give it back. Sucks you have to install everything to see and find ant potential issues.

I wish I didn’t miss spring 2020.

my Delta plans fell thru. I’ll go try a new spot at Berryessa Saturday

Open communication. My friend works a lot. He fished a few tournaments. He hired a guide to help him practice and prefish unknown lakes. my recent guide would slow down and point out good kayak spots for me.

Good luck. I lost a good LMB when it jumped. I call it a skunk.

When fishing is tough I bring one rod. Makes me feel like I’m getting back to basics like I did as a kid. Especially bank fishing. I like to rig a z-man finesse Texas style with a pegged worm hook. It kinda acts like a Ned jig, but rarely snags and I can whip it far.
