This was not only the first fish of the day, it was the first fish in my new yak! During the next 2-1/2 hours I C&R'd five more as follows: 20", 16", 18", and two 19". It was easily my best day of bass fishing (for either species) from a kayak!
This week doesn't look as busy as the previous few weeks, so I'll post a detailed report soon. |

On Sunday the 6th, went down to Brewster, on the Columbia, for summer kings. Still too early- I didn't see any caught. Didn't help that my FF went TU.
Did catch a couple of smallies for consolation. Dragged a deep diving Rapala past a rocky point. The SMB were stationed along the current seam. The bigger one was 17.5" and the other was 14". |

Fished with 'Yak Monkey 08/05-08/07. Janni joined us on the Friday session. Wednesday afternoon/evening we spent at Banks Lake. I caught some small smallies and a couple of undersize walleyes. Lost my only keeper 'eye when I lifted it's head out of the water for the net. D'oh! Was my most fruitful walleye trip yet, though. "Yak caught 6 'eyes, including 1 keeper.
Thursday morning we went to "Lake Pateros to target salmon (sockeyes and kings) I got distracted by the smallies pretty quickly. My best was this 16.5, caught on a crank. |

Darn, should have removed my secret weapon from this Smallie before taking the picture. He thought he was so smart for ambusing my Rapala I was dragging by a submerged dock, guess I showed him. You too can catch him, he's still swimmin around Cedar Oak Island near West Linn. |
