Added a Hatch to the Kayak

No fishing today.  Did do fishing related things though.  Been wanting to add a hatch to the Emotion Spitfire Kayak.  Hate having to dry out the wallet and keys and worse possibly losing them in the event of a dunking.


Stopped at Academy and picked up a screw-type hatch for $3.99.  Then, went to Lowes for stainless steel screws and nuts.  Spent $10.00 for the hardware... go figure!


No worries though,... easy installation gets a much wanted storage compartment!

Kayak Fishing the Point at Brockdale Park

Short video clip of a quick trip to Brockdale Park.  Was going for White Bass; managed two undersized ones.  Caught them on a Chartreuse Crappie Jig trolled on a flatline.  Bite was sloowwww.  Will be back again.  Hope the White Bass will be too!

Emotion Spitfire Kayak Makes Good With Kayak Fishing At Lake Lavon....

Been a bear lately with our day jobs, especially with the new kayak sitting in the garage instead of on the water!  Finally found a break in the schedule and took it out to Lake Lavon.  Had not been to the Lake lately... soon found that the ramps at Brockdale, Highland Park, and Bratonia were closed.  Luckily, Ticky Creek remains open and was able to launch the kayak.

Was easy to launch the little 8' kayak.  Light to carry, stable on the water, and easy to paddle.  Was not a problem trolling a Yellow Crappie Jig on a flatline.  Ended up catching three little White Bass.  Not bad for the Spitfire's first fishing trip!
