Missing the Kansas Fish-in wasn't a total loss (still wish I'd have been able to go, though) as I paid off the lawaway on my kayak (my first) and got it on the water. The first time out I didn't know what to expect so I left perishables like my camera and my good rod back at the truck and just got out and paddled around. But Sunday I was back on the water, this time with camera and rod in hand. It was a perfect afternoon between the rounds of thunderstorms. Breezy enough to drift, but not too fast to fish, which is important since I don't have the anchor attached yet, and on the lake I was at, the aquatic weeds are thick enough I could pull up on an island of them and fish around me if I didn't want to drift. Caught lots of fish and got about three hours on the water before last nights thunderstorms sent me packing. Took some getting used to, but a lot of fun! Can't wait to get out again!
