Yes indeed I think you know that guy very well.
I took my new kayak on its maiden voyage on a local reservoir. It's rather amazing compared to a sit in kayak. I can straddle this one and sit side
dle for fishing. My new paddle is so light I can paddle with one hand and hold my rod for trolling. I did miss the super control offered by handsfree style fishing in my tube. Nothing beats a tube as a fishing machine. I am going to go back tomorrow but with my tube. We discovered the place held jumbo perch and amazing crappies. With the tube I'll be able to do just what I want. Later I'll probably bring the yak and tow the tube as the reservoir has a long arm which would be a long kick in the tube. Tomorrow though I want to concentrate totally on the fishing as those crappies have got me excited. We only got two last time out so I want to spend the day trying to figure them out. One problem is that on the brochure for this conservation area it suggests "please use non toxic lead". It does not say that lead jigs are banned so I don't know exactly what to do.I don't want to get busted by a C.O. but I can't imagine fishing for crappie without my lead heads. Any suggestions? My other alternative is to use my full sink line with my flyrod but i know crappies like the action of a rising and falling jig.
I could also use bead head jigs that I have made from spinning lure beads. Do you think they "bust" you for having leadheads in your possession even if you're fishing metal bead heads?
