Golf cart test drive 5-29-09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

T Bone · 05-29-2009, 06:25 PM

Maiden voyage for the clown car.Kept it simple,no electronics, bait or brains-just rapalas and iron.

trolled along the kelp edge to way past the point and back for 4 hrs for nada.Launched iron into what looked like nervous bait but got the same results.

Mostly a test drive,it seems very stable side to side and I can stand up well.
It should be fun

Weather turned to crap soon after launching.wind,mist etc.

99" of fun and I can throw it in and out of my truck...

Thats a pretty neat set up you've got. I saw you cruise on by today, it seemed pretty quick for a little dinghy. I was in the tan Hobie Revolution with a red paddle jacket.

SWeet ride T-bone....I was the guy next to you at the launch with the wife and tandem yak.....better luck out there next time

Yeah it was a hoot.Did you guys catch anything?,it seemed pretty slow.

The Calico fishing was a lot of fun yesterday. I caught about 10 checkerboards. The fun finally ended when I ran out of swimbaits though.

I saw you out there.

I remember thinking this guy is hardcore in that thing.
-It makes my 12 ft Porta Bote look like a Viking.

Its a hoot.I wish it was 1ft longer.Its a pearl waiting to happen.I figure I can always bring the yak too as plan B if the surf doesnt look doable.I am buying an alternator kit for my OB to run electronics.I got the boat for free basically and I am just having fun with it.

I wont waste anyones time posting about my little skiff anymore unless I actually catch something noteworthy.I live 110 miles from LJ so I dont go there to fish for bass,I do that in NPH on my big game.I am starting a job at scripps hospital(Cabinet installation)in the fall.It will be a 1 year job.I am going to fish my ass off as I will be staying locally with nothing to do after work except drink beer.
