Kayak Fishing for Catfish with Jug Lines | Keeping It Simple 👍👍👍

This round I take the kayak to the local lake to catch a Catfish or two using jug lines! Bite was steady with five Blue Catfish caught. Largest went 20" in length!

Kayak Fishing for Whatever Bites, Else Getting a Workout In

Headed to the local lake for kayak fishing Saturday morning. Heat Advisory in effect, so we were not sure if the fish would be biting.

Plan was to either bottom bounce a slab and jig rig or troll it for whatever bites. Else, would get a workout in paddling to and from the boat ramp.

Managed two White Bass - one on a yellow Slab and one on a Crappie Jig. Also, had a little Channel Catfish strike a Crappie Jig bottom bounced.

Not sure how we plan to cook the two White Bass, but will post a video. Do check back! 

Kayak Fishing Lake Lavon | Bottom Bouncing Slab and Jig Rigs

Kayak fishing Lake Lavon Saturday morning. Slow bite but did catch four fish using the bottom bouncing technique. Did keep two fish for a catch and cook video!

Using Google Earth for Fishing | Lake Lavon

Liking the history feature in Google Earth to checkout fishing areas that we have frequented in the past. In particular were Brockdale Park as well as a quick look at Clear Lake Park and Avalon Park! Learned a few things that may come in handy this weekend!

Slab and Jig Fishing

Kayak Fishing Lavon - Backpaddling Keeps Working! #kayaking #kayakfishing #lakelavon

Here is the follow-on video of yesterday’s kayak fishig trip to Lake Lavon. Bought new kayak fishing sandals from the Columbia Allen Outlet Store to replace the ones that “blew a flat” last year.

Had to give them a “test drive” and take them fishing. Decided on putting in at Lavonia South Ramp. Lots of boats and jet skis but did manage to catch a nice Catfish, several Yellow Bass, and a Crappie.

All caught bottom bouncing a Slab and Jig Rig by backpaddling the kayak along a drop off near the boat ramp.

Fun stuff… do stay tune for more videos and be on the lookout for the new kayak fishing sandals, our footwear of choice in the Summer!

More Jugline Fishing for Catfish #lakelavon

Was a tough start Saturday… windy and a little chilly, plus no shad at the boat ramp at Highland Park. Made the quick adjustment, and decided to head to calmer waters… Bratonia Park, and to the Branch Convenience Store for bait.

No shad but they did have Nightcrawlers. Enough for us to get started setting out juglines. Luckily, did catch a few shad in the shallows as well.

In short order, had our lines deployed. But, took almost two hours before the first bite… a Blue Catfish that went for Shad.

After the first one was caught, bite stayed steady with several undersized caught and released; and then, we caught six Catfish – five Blue Catfish and one Channel Catfish, for the stringer for Dinner… Blackened Catfish and Shrimp Etouffee!
