Kayak Fishing Video Marathon

Kayak Fishing Video Marathon

Below is a series of videos of past kayak fishing trips that may be of interest to those who would like to learn to kayak fish.

The trips are mainly at our local lake - Lake Lavon. However, there are trips to Lake Texoma on the border of Texas and Oklahoma; Lake Thunderbird in Norman, Oklahoma; and the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels, Texas.

Additionally, it shows several fishing techniques I like to use when fishing from a kayak - trolling, backpaddling bottom bounce, jug lining, and fly fishing, too!

Do check out the videos!

Remember to Finish the Cast!

Fishing Thoughts... Finish the Cast!


Series of video clips where I demonstrate Bass striking the lure as it comes within a rod length away. Don't be surprised when one strikes! 


Great tip to remember when you fish on your next trip. The fish may be tending to bite at the end of your retrieve. Lessons learned this round... Finish your cast as that fish may be striking less than a rod length away.

Favorite Fishing Rig for Fishing Denison Dam... and others, too! #damfishing #texoma #denisondam

Details on the rig we like to use when fishing Denison Dam… as well as other tailraces. Simple setup that can be changed and/or replaced quickly.

Do remember to tie your mainline and your leader to the swivel side of the snap swivel. Use the snap to attach the float or swap it out with the sinker.

Additionally, we like to add a 50lbs mono shock leader to our main line - that is typically 17lbs mono, and then 12lbs mono for our leader that attaches to the swivel and runs to the lure or hook.

Materials:

  • Snap Swivel
  • Hook
  • Launcher Float
  • Sinkers (1 - 6oz)
  • 50lbs, 17lbs, and 12lbs mono

Try a Rapala X-Rap for Ultralight Bass Fishing

Updates for the day



Brief Description - Rain forecasted later today. Decided to fish a local pond for Bass. Pleasant surprise when I noticed the algae and other vegetation was not clobbering the pond.  In short order, I switched to a Rapala X-Rap!



Location - Sonic Pond, Allen, TX




Weather - Sunny, windy but rain forecasted later



Gear - Bass Pro Shops MicroLite Fiberglass Rod and Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS-XG. Then, switched to a KastKing Zephyr with Reel Clicker. Started fishing with a Rooster Tail, then went to the Rapala X-Rap



Catch - Bass, lost count after 10




Notes - Bass were striking on a steady retrieve, and several times they struck within a rod length away. Stresses the need to "finish your cast"!
