Bassin in Korea! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

philr21 · 08-25-2013, 06:32 AM

Hey folks! Long time no see. Had to get underway with the carrier in June out of Yokosuka. Left the ship in July to get home, finish getting things squared away and get settled into my new job in Korea. Been here right at a month, did a few shore trips, and finally got the kayak on the water for some bassing on Monday.

Lake was really low. Lot of fish, but lot of small fish. This lake I don't know the name of, used Google Earth and Car Navi to find.

Landed 6, missed/lost about 10 on topwater. Fun times for just two hours after work. This reservoir is about a 45 min drive from the base in Chinhae.

Bottom of the reservoir super silty. Almost lost my shoes after sinking trying to get the kayak out. Dropped my $10 pliers in a foot of water and never found them.

You know there's got to be some bigger models in there too. Way cool. Thanks for the report from across the pond.

Looks like it might be time to get out the fly rod.
