This is one of my go to lakes. Caught a 9.5 this year with multiple 4-6 lbrs. Drop shot is a go too especially in summer but also smacked nice ones on top water in August. Depending on what month it is you can throw a lot of different baits. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that most are Florida strain large mouth.

Old Town PDL 106 yakker here. It’s been a great learning experience fishing. Can’t go too far but can go into areas no boaters can go. It forces you to really slow down and be more attentive of areas. I traveled 11 miles round trip on a kayak once. I found myself kayaking more than fishing. Last year I averaged about 7 miles round trip. This year I cut it down to about 5 tops. My fishing has gotten much better. I’m building another kayak. It will have a motor (both stern & bow mounted). More time on the water focusing on fishing.
@straithookedfishing13 күн бұрын
11 miles is a distance! I always say for boats that you can't catch fish at 70mph. Sounds like you will be all set up even more woth the new rig though.

@@straithookedfishing great learning experience kayak fishing. Someone gave great advice after I told them about my trips. He said to me that boaters go to “different towns”, we as kayakers can’t do that. But we just need to go to “different neighborhoods” and pick it apart. It has gotten me into some great fishing (18 months into fishing period. Can’t believe I never got into this before).

Summer boating tips.... Back your boat down the middle of the ramp immediately when you arrive at the lake, THEN start loading up ice chests, life jackets, float tubes etc. Spend a good 10 minutes locating all 6 ropes that you'll use to launch. Hang no less than 12 bumper buoys from your cleats because boats actually explode if they touch anything. If there are 2 docks, launch between them so that you can have rope operators on both sides guiding the boat in the water as your wife learns to back a trailer for the first time. Once on the water, make sure to never get all the way on pad. Ignore the little trim switch on the hand throttle and just gas that baby up. If u can see the water in front of you, your not plowing hard enough. Lastly, while towing children on float toys it is not your responsibility to keep them safe or pay attention at all. Feel free to swerve unpredictably in and out of no wake zones without looking behind you. You probably have too many kids anyway so just have fun, and the ones who survive will have a story for the rest of their life.
