When The Boats Are Away The Kayakers Will Play
 

DVL is a kayakers paradise now. It's not the ocean but, being that it's two miles away from my house I'll make do. The bass fishing is going off right now. I found a cove where the bass/birds had the shad pinned in and were boiling/jumping out of the water like little tuna. Took awhile to find the right bait to use. But once found it was a fish every thrid cast. The stripers are starting to put on a show also. I was the only kayaker out and I saw a total of five rental boats out somewhere on the lake. I had a coyote follow me around all day, he would come within 10' of me. Just walking the shoreline with me as I fished.

Some more.......

Nice glassy conditions...........herd it can BLOW there. Love to get my first smallie and striper crossed off my list.

Awesome! I was wondering if they would let the Sit-ins still launch.

thats beautiful, great report
sit on tops are not allowed?

Andy... there's a fish you havnt caught yet?

I was throwing that big trout lure in the last picture all day hoping for a striper or hog bass

sick

Don, DVL is SINK only no SOT. I plan to have some sit in rentals pretty soon.......hmm free delivery to the lake so I can fish it:D

Tim, thank you for posting the first yak DVL report I have ever stumbled across. Inspiring...very.

Way to go Tim. That place looks like it could be on another world..

You know what.........I have never caught a freshwater bass in my life :rolleyes:

Jim, I'm sure the bass are happy about that :sifone:. The stripper are starting to put on a show and can get up to 30 + lbs. I'm trying to dial them in.

Did u fish 11/11? Saw a S I N that was set up that day! Trout for my boy and i, but saw some LARGE STRIPERS landed on a rental! Awesome pics!! Keep up the posts :notworthy: Noah and Scoot

Probably, that was a month back that was long ago. :) I've been hitting it up often lately. Anyone care to join me, I fish mostly on fridays.

OK...What does DVL mean? and where is it!

I not the smart one in the bunch!

Diamond Valley Reservoir orrrrrrrrr Lake

I gotta get a Friday covered Tim

Dont let the Iceman in the Lake:(

DVL Is sweet. Ive fished it only a couple times but it was a blast. Its a trip how 20' feet off the shore your in 40' of water sometimes.

I've been fishing DVL a lot lately from shore or rental and all I can say is it is the closest you can get to saltwater fishing. I've seen boils there that are very close to the boils you see from YT out in the ocean. Those big stripers eating trout put on quite a show! Now if I could get one of them to eat my Lunker Punker I would be VERY happy. Too bad they have so many rules there, or I would have my boat and my kayak out there alot.
