11/26 kayak report
Posted: Sat Nov 26, 2022 4:44 pm
Inspired by Chessieman's success, I headed to FV this morning and launched my kayak from the VT side. It's a couple miles of paddling to get to the fish zone. Next time I might drive the car an extra 30 minutes around to the NY side to save the paddling for trolling. Well... pedaling, actually. I saw a couple boats out there-- didn't get around to saying hi up close. HI!
I concentrated on a pretty small area and brought 5 small salmon to the kayak, and one laker. I kept one salmon about 17", that was hooked pretty bad-- I'm glad I did because it turned out to be the biggest one!
I ran a pink/pearl C.I. spoon about 25' down with a snap weight. That caught 4 small salmon.
Since I wanted to make tight turns over a small area, my other line ran near the surface-- a 6-8' diving purple Shad Rap. It caught one small salmon and a laker.
I lost a few fish, too.
I didn't see any bird activity. The size of the fish wasn't impressive, but they're the first salmon I've caught since spring, so I was thrilled. Most of them jumped, and all were beautiful. My previous three outings produced only lakers.
