Year end report (kayak fishing)

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Year end report (kayak fishing)

Post by otownyaker »

Well 2015 was imo a great year for me.
Although i did not get the numbers and all the species i was hopeing for, I had a blast.
I got to meet several of my fellow forum members.
I got several of my pb yak catches, a few firsts, and a tone of good times.
My goals this year where to:

Get a 20"+ sm bass. Done and done[img width=700 height=393]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/eric_ruest1/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0087_zps3jpku2wo.jpg[/img]

Get my pb pike. Done previous pb was 32"[img width=385 height=700]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/eric_ruest1/Mobile%20Uploads/12294661_10156271079660472_4916453647149556635_n_zpslkmugmez.jpg[/img]
This guy was a easy 33.5"

I had a few goals for fish i just could not seem to catch.
20" walleye
Any trout......
My first drum
And a 40" musky. Well really any musky would have done.
I really wanted to try out a 2 day or even one day tournament. Sadly it just never happened. This will not be repeated next year.
My main goal thus season was to have fun (very easy to accomplish) meet some ppl who share in the love of this sport. And that was done! Eef and i hooked up a few times, choke a few times and several others here and there. It was very nice to meet them all. Pick there brains share stories and spots etc. This was probably the best part of my season.

This being my first real season of kayak fishing i think i had a great season. Im currently sitting in 18th in canada for KW much higher than i had expected.

I managed a few cool catches as well a 14.75 mooneye never cought one before [img width=700 height=393]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/eric_ruest1/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0147_zpsueutpqpe.jpg[/img]
The darkest channel cat i have ever seen[img width=700 height=393]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/eric_ruest1/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_0128_zpsw8i2dudv.jpg[/img]
And an eel. Sorry no photo of that bugger.a sock a hat and tones of garbage (that all found its way to the dump)

All in all im happy with my season the only thing that sucks it it has come to an end

I almost started to cry and i hoisted her up there for the winter.

I would like to thank every one here for helping me make the most of my season. The freinds and the stories i have taken from here are what mate my season great
Thanks Eric otownyaker

Congrats on the good year.

Nice mixed bag of fish. That cat is dark.

If you want a lead on some drum shoot me a pm.

What stretch of water did you get the eel on?
