Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Just purchased a beautiful fishing kayak today. Perfect for the reservoirs, rivers and small lakes around where I live. I can't wait to try it out on Sunday! Went fishing on Wednesday with my son to a spot where we usually catch a lot of pan fish (rock bass, bluegills, perch, etc...). Out of nowhere the smallmouth started hitting. My son caught a nice 2-3 pounder, and I caught a few including one that was about 6.5 pounds. Lost another one that looked even bigger. Might have been a small pike. Snapped my line about 5 feet away from the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Just stay away from the swans! From a few years back: http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/field-notes/2012/04/mute-swan-attacks-and-kills-man-chicago-pond ...Two witnesses saw Hensley resurface a few times in the pond and called police, but by the time crews arrived he had been fully submerged... News accounts said the swan continued to attack Hensley as he struggled in the water. I guess you could say he... ...took a swan dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
