Vail Lake 4/19
After reading a few reports about kayak fishing Vail Lake, I had to try it out for myself. Let's just say if you have never fished Vail Lake I would recommend giving it a shot. Started the day drop shotting worms and throwing jerkbaits for a few fish here and there. Then once the wind picked up I started slow trolling zoom flukes in about 8' of water and started really catching them. Ended the day with 30+ fish, a few monster crappie and the rest largemouth bass. Here are some pics from the day:

Vail
Anyone going to Vail this weekend? I have never fished it (haven't fished largemouth bass in more than 10 years!). I would love to give it a try. Sunday anyone? Vail is in Riverside right?

That place has the biggest Crappie I've ever seen!
Just out of curiosity, with the seats in your PAs being so high does that make the Kayak top heavy at all? Seems like it wouldn't be as stable as a regular sit on top Kayak. |

nice fish! that place is fun.
I think they are having a mud run this weekend. you can call the office to find out. get there extra early if it is going on. the place gets packed when they have events. |

I have actually never fished Sutherland so I am not sure. Thanks for the heads up about the event! It looks like they are having a mud run on Saturday 4/27, so if I go that day it will be really early.
