Kayak Trolling This Morning!

Went kayak fishing this morning.  Was planning to launch from the free boat ramp nearest the dam.  Road was closed. Luckily, had the COE Annual Pass, so went to Lavonia Park and put in from the Day Use Area.

Paddled out to the Point we like to fish and began working the area... trolling a Slab and Crappie Jig Rig as well as casting to boils!

Caught two Yellow Bass and a number of White Bass with three Keepers.  Fish for Dinner tonight!

Lavonia Park and Little Ridge Park This Round

Decided to fish the bank at Lake Lavon this round.  Went to Lavonia Park and setup our gear. Had several light nibbles using nightcrawlers but only managed one fish - a Gaspergou.  Too bad we did not have "boat" repellent; had two boats float over our fishing spot.  After a while without a bite, decided to head up the road to scout at Little Ridge Park.  Saw the Power Plant was generating; may need to bring the kayaks next round!

Fished the Point for White Bass!

Kayak fished the point by the free boat ramp south of Lavonia Park.  Trolled tandem Crappie Jigs - one Red/White and one Chartreuse.  Caught twenty White Bass, missed others, and kept five that were Keepers.  Largest went 14" in size.  Steady action with most striking while making a wide slow turn when changing direction.  Fun stuff and even gotta a workout in!

Fished a Different Point This Round....

Fished the area south of Lavonia Park to try for White Bass.  Very promising area per reports from TFF's TarponFly.  Brought the Carp Rod that we like to use for long distance surfcasting.  Also, brought Slabs and Crappie Jigs as suggested.

After walking from the parking area to the point near the Dam, noticed a lot of fish activity on the surface (note: the walk was muddy from yesterday's rain; we found it easier to wade the shoreline at times).

Casted for distance and had a few short strikes before finally hooking into one... a Largemouth Bass.  Kept at it some more and hooked a Yellow Bass. Then, a few boats passed through the area, so the bite was off for a few.  Then, started getting strikes again after things settled down.

More missed strikes but did get a Keeper White Bass that struck the Slab! Fun stuff... will need to come back and bring the Kayak next round.  Perfect area for some trolling!
