The aim was to catch dinner and experiment with a new Catfish recipe. After using a cast net to catch Shad for bait at the boat ramp, we set out jug lines and successfully caught two Catfish and a Gar.
The Shad bait proved effective, although a tilapia on one jug line caught the larger of the two Catfish.
Despite a slow beginning, we managed to achieve our goal of catching dinner!

Managed to Catch 15 Fish on this Trip! Check out the action!
Last weekend, I decided to go kayak fishing at Lake Lavon in Texas. I launched from the Lavonia Boat Ramp and began the day with a peaceful paddle on the calm lake surface.
Initially, the fish were elusive, playfully nibbling but not fully committing. However, as the sun rose higher, my luck improved. The first catch, a lively Yellow Bass, gave me a thrilling fight. This trend continued with more small Yellow and White Bass.
By mid-morning, I discovered the fish hiding deep near the lake bottom. Using Slab and Jig Rigs for trolling, and then Bottom Bouncing them, proved to be effective. Additionally, casting towards passing fish schools yielded a catch or two.
In the end, I had caught a total of 15 fish - 14 White Bass and 1 Crappie. However, I lost track of the number of undersized fish that were caught and released!

Gloves and Laundry Pins for Kayak Fishing: What's the Purpose?
Gloves serve to shield you from potential fish fin injuries and minimize blisters during paddling. On the other hand, laundry pins can double as useful stringer clips to prevent losing a fish that might wriggle free.
Additionally, gloves provide a better grip on wet surfaces, ensuring you maintain control of your paddle and fishing gear. They also offer protection from harsh sun exposure, reducing the risk of sunburn on your hands during long hours on the water.
Laundry pins, often overlooked, can also be used to secure bait and other small items to your kayak, keeping them within easy reach and preventing them from being washed away. Their versatility makes them a handy addition to any kayak fishing setup.
In essence, both gloves and laundry pins are simple yet effective tools that enhance your safety, efficiency, and overall experience while kayak fishing. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, incorporating these items into your gear can make a noticeable difference.

I first started kayak fishing using rod holders that were built in the kayak. They were mounted flush to the stern and sat behind me. They worked well for trolling but I had to keep turning back to check if I had a strike.
I remedied this by attaching a bell to my rods. When a fish was on the line, I could clearly hear the bell ring. This worked but I wanted to see the strike as soon as the fish struck my lure.
Additionally, I like to fly fish from my kayak and required a rod holder that would securely hold the rod at the reel seat.
Luckily, I found out the Railblaza Rod Holder II offered me a solution. Do give them a try!
