Bermuda...or NJ?

Post by BiggerThomas » Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:45 pm

Hit a nice clear lake today with the inflatable kayak and my 3wt St. Croix rod outfitted with the remnants of a size 10 mouse fly.

Tons of bluegill and sunfish, all caught on top water, some strikes being quite violent. So much fun. The kayak is great for lake fishing because you can access pretty much anywhere, and do it in stealth mode where you just drift up, silently, on whatever you're fishing for. And with the inflatable, it's not difficult to walk it up to a mountain lake, although this lake (White Lake), was perfectly accessible from the parking lot

Happy 4th, fellas.
