2018 Small Boat Braggin' Board

ItsJason · March 09, 2018, 10:49:22 PM

Water is soft again! Though, still in the 30s. But felt good to get out and paddle and cast again. Nothing to brag about but was a nice day spent outside.

Glad you were able to ge tout and after hard water I know even that dink was fun to catch. I'm going tpo try and get out one day next week for my first time.

I paddled three hours, yesterday. The air temperature was in the mid-30s and there was a steady 10 mile per hour wind, so I had to abandon my plan to throw a jerkbait from my sit-inside kayak and just threw a white, two-inch curlytail grub on a 1/8 ounce ball jighead. I got only one bite and it was a contradiction:

That's a winter fallfish. They're a type of giant minnow. Around here, master baiters use them to catch northern pike.

Thanks for the report and you do look a little cold out there. That does look like a good muski bait also.

Yes, I was cold! I was ice fishing from my kayak!

It was warmer, today; probably 43 degrees. The only bass I boated came up like a wad of wet paper towels:

Master what-ers? Haha!
Y'all don't dare tell me I'm the only one who laughed at that.

Man, I know a bit about fishing cold! Not near as much as the northerners, but I've had to pack it in twice this winter because my gear was icing up.

Thanks for the

and can see that layer of ice out there in your first picture. That brings back memories when we use to get out and break ice with Johns old tin boat. Your a brave man to get out there in the cold and bust up ice on a yak.

Okay, I gotsa a question!

I'm gonna participate in the IBass.
So, assuming I acquire or build another small boat, can I use the same fish in IBass AND the small boat braggin board competition?

I don't see why not, but LastRodBender should be around shortly and answer that question soon.

ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!

Think of this thread as the cork board you see at the local bait shop... the 'competition' is just the fun little crap we talk to eachother over a cup of coffee in the morning.

SteelHorseCowboy · March 28, 2018, 03:19:36 PM

Cool, thanks!

BrandonK · April 21, 2018, 10:29:41 AM

Oooo I like this. I'll be taking part in all of these competitions.

Nothing giant this year yet. Well, not from the kayak at least. Best ones from the kayak this year have all been between 17"-18". One of em was 3.03 lbs but I don't know which lol

BONUS FISHYS: Couple mid 6s from last year. One in the old kayak. One in a rented jon boat.

Lipripper · April 21, 2018, 10:33:06 AM

Brandon them were some nice fish and hope you can catch some more nice ones this year from your yak.

BrandonK · April 21, 2018, 10:40:59 AM

Me too! Haha. Thank you

Found this thread a bit late, but here's a 3lber. I caught in my gheenoe. Biggest fish I've caught in the Gheenoe that I have a pic of.

I caught it in a local pond.

Man look how clear that water is. Awesome.

Forgot about this thread but here's my PB from a week and a half ago. Caught in kayak and paddled over to shore so someone could take a pic
