Laurel Hill 05-29-2014
Hit Laurel Hill early hoping to beat the lightning......and I did. I had a great morning. Caught 49 Gills before leaving. The fish were mostly at the 9 inch mark. Good healthy fish that pulled hard. The fish are moving off the beds....some beds have no fish on them at all. I just paddled around finding more beds with the side imaging and pulled the few fish on the beds off and moved on to another one. I am hoping around the next full moon they move back onto the beds. I have not played around with down scan much but decided to do so today. I pulled right on top of a bed I found with si and on down scan you could see the depressions and fish sitting in them! I hit mark to take a snapshot and no snapshot indicator showed on screen......I had left my SD card in my computer. It takes some effort to do this in a kayak. I was talking with the TWRA officer down there today...he has just gotten into kayaking....and he was remarking how it can be hard to load a kayak. Of course he is younger than me but while he enjoys kayak fishing his biggest complaint is about the weight. Since TK chopped my trailer down for me loading on flat ground is a breeze. But I got to tell you doing this from a kayak is very gratifying. I really feel good after a day on the water. Life is good!
