On Memorial Day, I was able to get my Vibe Sea Ghost out onto the water, and do some fishing for a few hours. The combination of baseball, and the cold, crappy spring weather has meant this is only the second time I’ve been able to get my kayak on the water. The second time must be a charm, because I hooked this lovely 30 inch Northern Pike, for both my first Northern and my first fish from my new kayak.

So…I bought a fishing kayak. A Vibe Sea Ghost 110 Angler Kayak to be exact.
It’s going to be a looooooong winter waiting to get her out on the water. At least I have some time to get the kayak outfitted and ready to go come spring.
That New Largemouth Bass Smell
Largemouth Bass, Nippersink Forest Preserve
I went out fishing this morning, and it was a gorgeous early-October morning. I hooked a trio of Largemouth Bass on my brand new St. Croix Mojo Bass casting rod and Abu Garcia REVO4 SX reel.
All three Largemouth were caught on a bluegill Strike King Tour Grade Wim Jig, with a watermelon red flake YUM Christie Craw trailer. The first Largemouth was the nicest, the biggest I’ve pulled out of this lake, definitely my personal best to date. I’d estimate the fish was roughly 20-21 inches in length, and probably 2.5 lbs. or so.
