miller Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 after eating my turkey feast earlier in the afternoon i couldn't sit around at home i had to hit the water. tossed the gear in the car and the yak on the roof and off i went. started out on a good note getting one largie on a topwater. worked around a couple areas until i found a hotspot loaded with them. picked off quite a few on different cranks and spinners. decided to troll a crank along a shoreline and on the first pass i hooked into a jumbo perch which shook off at the side of the yak. second pass i hook into something big which starts peeling drag and ends up shaking the hooks too. third times a charm, i make another pass and bam rod hunches over and drag starts peeling out. after a solid fight and getting towed around i managed to get my first salmon from the yak and also realized i need a bigger net cause i couldnt get that thing in it. perfect day on the water capped off with some nice fish. happy thanks giving and enjoy the pics.

Roy Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 It must be so peaceful paddling that kayak around. Thanks for posting that. And yes, unlikely trio.
timmeh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Sounds like a great day. And picking up a salmon while out bass fishing to top it off. I know how exciting that is as the exact same thing happened to me a couple weeks back.
mercman Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Nice Bass Thats gotta be a rush, fishing in a Kayak like that.Thanks for sharing with us. Paul

If the fish photos don't say it all...the sunset picture sure does! I don't think I have seen Lake Erie/Ontario look so calm....we can only hope for more days like these!! Great post.
Rizzo Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 wow what variety. Can't say I've ever caught an incidental salmon before
miller Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 thanks guys, definatly a rush getting a salmon from the kayak. when i pulled the rod out of the holder and set the hook it spun me haha. the lake was like glass all day and i was hoping for maybe a pike or trout on the troll back but i was definatly quite pleased when it turned out to be a salmon.
spincast Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 nice going pretty sure I saw another one of those, or maybe even that one, jumping in the harbour on Saturday. Came right out of the water in front of 4 guys fishing for bass. The look on the one guys face was priceless
