Took The Kayak out tonight on the Black Creek again, from the launch near the Genesee River. (Right behind the ARC)
Managed to get out around 5 PM, and immediately headed to the backwaters across the way from the launch. The wind was mellow by that point, but I still figured it would be better to get some casts in out of the current first.
Plenty of prime looking water over there, and I missed a hit on a tiny white spinnerbait, which I was speeding along just under the surface. No fish in that section, so I moved on.
I headed up to the section just before the Trail Overpass (two round entrances, about 50 feet wide… interesting to paddle through). I saw signs of a pike feeding near a downed tree, and lined myself up.

Sometimes it’s when you least expect it.
I was wading the Oatka in the Park section, just (and I mean feet) below the downed bridge. I had on a big Adams, size 10 I think, skating it in the rapids below the bridge. Unconventional, I know, but I’ve found it to be effective when other things aren’t working.
Anyhow, I’ve got 20 feet of line in the water downstream of me, and I’m staring upstream, looking for risers, as some bugs had started to come off.
GO-WHAM!
Wanted to thank Scott from BigBassCountry.com for sending me a little toy to try out when I’m down in Pennsylvannia in early June. It’s called a Wacky Saver, and it’s great for saving soft plastic baits … Essentially, it’s used to easily feed rubber ring onto a Senko or a similar worm, so that you don’t have to keep re-inserting a hook through those nice but comparatively expensive soft rubber worm bodies. Thanks again Scott. Be sure to check out Scott’s blog if you’re going to be in the
Texas
area (talk about a big area), or if you’re just interested in bass fishing.

It’s closer than you think…
The Hanapa’a Fishing Club had a perch derby a few weeks ago at San Onfre State Beach.
I finally made it out fishing and won first place with the largest Perch and got the jackpot.
There were large spot fin croakers which won the others jackpots but it was a perch derby. A friend of mine Ron got second place with a nice Perch.
Well I guess I got my bragging rights back…
