Fishing Excursion

[Yak Fish]

Last year I visited the Elk River in November for some great steelhead action. I was thinking about heading to Pulaski this year for salmon fishing but perhaps I missed the boat this year. Do you guys have favorite fishing excursions you like to go on? I think it's probably a good idea to go on at least one a year

I Really want to take the kayaks to Floridas space coast in march. I spent 3 weeks on Merrit Island last year, fishing the Banana River/ Indian river while wading. The Redfish and speckled trout fishing was amazing. More skates and stingrays on the bottom than you could shake a stick at, and there is just something about being 1/2 mile from shore standing on the bottom in water that could easily be home to bullsharks and alligators! Cant wait to take the Kayak down.

Wow, awesome. Florida is a place I'd love to go fishing but I don't know anything about where or the species. One day I'll so some investigating, but it's def on the list!

This summer I spent 17 day fishing the lower Kennebec River in Maine. I've been going every year for over a decade. I did pretty well this summer catching 66 stripers. About half were caught while in my trusty canoe with trolling motor, rest caught from shore. All caught on 5” soft plastic fished weightless on the surface (same lure I use to catch smbass on the Susky @ Harrisburg). Here’s a shot of one of the bigger ones, so big that I couldn’t get the entire fish in one shot without standing up… and I wasn’t about to do that in my canoe while in 20’ of water with swift currents. The measuring board stops at 31”. I know there’s feature in my camera software that will merge the 2 photos, just haven’t learned it yet. I’ll also attach a few shots of the side bay on the Kennebec where I caught this fish as well as many more of slightly small sizes. Beautiful place to fish.

Nice, that looks awesome. I love when it's foggy like that. Of all places, striper fishing in Maine? How'd you find out about this place?
