So who is looking forward to doing some yak fishing this season? I know I am and I am hoping to get together with as many Yak Rats as possible this season! Its always a great time! Hope you folks are up for it? I know a few of us are more than ready!!!! I just dropped my yak on the trailer yesterday...got a little rigging to do for cameras and getting my freshwater gear ready first but as soon as we get a good day....I am going!

honestly can't wait to get out! Maybe I can get down to the south shore this spring...

Bought some camera mounts, install to come later. Right now the big blue thing is still on it's side , waiting.

You da man Fred! Matt I need to get up your way!!!!:uhuh:

I'm sort of ready. Got a new 2014 revolution that I added a few things too. Rigged up this lithium battery for the lowrance sonar and did some gear trac. Not sure how much fishing I plan on doing but I will certainly be exploring a lot.

You da man Fred! Matt I need to get up your way!!!!:uhuh:

that may be easier.. I got some good early spring spots, maybe we can get TDF out on his kayak!

Cool!:uhuh:

can't wait to get out. unsure if i want to mount the go pro on my head or my yak. i kinda want it to see where i look but there are times i think a deck mount would be cool to.any input would be appreciated.
i yak south shore ma. quite a bit starting in the back rivers and work my way out front than back to the bays and rivers. . By far my favorite form of fishing. if anyone wants to get out in mt hope bay area let me know

Jonserfish from experience I can tell you a head mount sucks for fishing! Very boring video and you will not see much and what you do see will be very bouncy to watch! Mount it on the yak facing you! Have you seen any of my yak videos?

yeah second what BigFish said, mount it facing towards you, it will make for a much better video - well that is if you want to look at yourself :D

really though it gives a better view of the hook up and the fish...

I will have several cameras mounted this season in at least 3 maybe 4 locations! One facing me, one on the bow facing forward, one in the water for the underwater catch and underwater release....and maybe one behind me! Stay tuned!

^That's awesome! Can't wait to see the videos.

I've been fishing since ice out in late feb :)

have one ordered, and to be delivered soon

so.......... that's a start :uhuh:

Nice Sam! Guessing your in CT?

Guessing Jersey....more likely Virginia?

I'm waiting for a check ,, Once that happens the jeep is going in for a Congo Cage and some yakima adapters for those bars . Won't be long .. Right now it aint moving .. Forces me to get my yard work done .. I bought a bunch of hooks and flourocarbon leader ,, 20 and 50 for fluke and tog rigs .. Once I start ,, that's it ..

Remember 2 years ago when we were going to do an overnight on an Island ? .. I bought a brand new tent for that . still in the box ..

in spirit

Me too Ed! Lets use them this season! I am ready!!
:uhuh:

Let me know when you want to go...I got some camping gear. :hihi:

Anyone know of a great yak spot where there is direct access to pull that yaks out and camp on the water AND have a camp fire?? Freshwater or salt I am good!

how far you willing to travel?

yeah TDF - didn't you do that with the scouts on Thatcher's? The boston harbor islands are another option...
I would be up for it....

Harbor islands do not allow open fires which....for me.....is a big part of camping. Any thoughts at all Kevin I am all ears?

yeah fires are prohibited on Thatcher's as well.. that sucks!
Maybe we can bring back the thousand islands idea?

The no fires thing is a drag. Thatchers is nice too.....easy paddle out as well.

Let me work on it.....

Love to get a group together for a trip....we tried last year but it never got off the ground? Who else might be interested?

Any interest in maybe winnipesaukee?

Definitely! Was considering Squam Lake actually as a friend has a place at Waterville Valley I can stay at but would rather do a camping trip!:uhuh: Love to go freshwater for sure!

Larry,Just let me know when you can get out in the fresh, I have been out a couple of times. Got a couple nice ones at Indian Head.

Hi Chris....maybe next week??:uhuh:

What about Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Maine? I've heard they have islands that you can camp on.. open fires allowed!

That has been on my list as well!!!:uhuh:

I like the looks of the Stephen Phillips one....you can see photos of all the campsites and check out the one on Students Island

Now let's pick a weekend.....

I like the Students Island as well! Looks good to me! Which site would you prefer Kevin? Anyone else in?? Matt??

Site 15 looks great?

I want to be in in life allows it! I'm thinking summer would be good, can we catch pike there or is it more of a coldwater/trout lake?

That lake has it all....bass, pike.....trout I think as well! Summer....July or August work for me!

Like to get Eddie to go? BlondTerror?

I'm betting the place has some serious smalley action...

I am hoping! What do you think Kev? 2 night stay...Friday to Sunday....I can do midweek as well??? Anytime works for me!

i'd be up for it, depending on date.....

Kevin you are the busy guy.....I am good anytime! I will see if I can get Tagger and BlondTerrors attention! Maybe they will go! I know Ed wants to break in his new camping gear as do I!

I don't know guys, did some research and it seems like more of a salmon and trout fishery... I would be totally up for a good smallie lake though...
anybody know of good ones that have camping? Lake George in NY is an option?

Here are my "No Good" weekends:

April 25-27
May 16-18
May 23-25
June 13-15
June 20-22
July 4-6
July 11-13
July 18-20

August Looks Wide Open and so does September...

I gotta retire....

You start talking New York and you are talking about 3 nights versus 2....you'd spend more time driving than fishing...

Kevin is right.....NY is a good 7 plus hour ride. Kevin any of your dates work for me...I do have plans for a Sox game with some friends in July so let me find out what weekend that is on so we can exclude that weekend!:uhuh:

yeah it is a drive - well lets find a good bass lake...

Kevin is right.....NY is a good 7 plus hour ride. Kevin any of your dates work for me...I do have plans for a Sox game with some friends in July so let me find out what weekend that is on so we can exclude that weekend!:uhuh:

Just to clarify Larry...those are the dates I can't make it....

Oooops sorry Kev! I am good as I said any weekend except the one I have the game on and I will find out what weekend that is. We could nail down a weekend and see if that #15 campsite is available?

#3 and #5 look good as well......grass is always better to pitch a tent on if you are on the ground

3 gets my vote....5 is too rocky on the beach! Sandy is good! Kev sounds like you and I are in...maybe Matt? Ed is actually coming by tomorrow so I will talk to him about it! Maybe Chris Groves would like to come...he is away right now.

Hi Chris....maybe next week??:uhuh:

I will PM you my cell number, pretty much ready anytime. Benefit of being retired.:uhuh:

UUUUugghhhh still not ready .. :smash:
