Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I decided to take the afternoon off on such a nice day to go do some fishing locally.  Crows nest is just down the road from me, but I never liked rolling the kayak down the long pier to the kayak launch.  But, that all changed once I got the new kayak and wheel system, which worked out great and felt more like I only carried 15-20 percent of the weight.  Launching off the kayak ramp was easy, but coming back in was not.  The time flew by as I really just enjoyed the water system and watching all the Gar spawning.

I ended up with several blow ups and new tactics and one nice snakehead for the freezer.  A successful outing.  One thing for note though was that at 12 pm on a Wed there were at least 3-4 other kayakers there and by the time I came back 4 hrs later there were at least 4-5 more coming in.  So a popular system imho.

Here is the initial view of the crows nest once launched


Had another snake come at me again (another small one), but it was brown in color and I couldn't get a good pic of it


After the first 1.5 hrs of exploring and taking my time enjoying the area (Only been here once before) I got my 1st snakehead of the year


I had a few other blowups afterwards, but only landed the one.


It was easy for me to get home (literally 4 minutes from house) and just leave the fish in the back of the kayak.


Actually used my scale for once!  and it came in at 27 inches
