kayak fished "my" lake in Muskoka yesterday (Saturday). As I had to return home early in the afternoon, only fished 2 and a half hours (while it took me 3 and a half hours driving for the 375KM round trip). Landed two lakers within first hour, and then started looking for whitefish but didn't find/mark nothin':-)

what caused the damage

(Somehow my usual very-effective vibrato didn't work this time, with quite a few aggressive chasers but no commit:-)

Nice fish, too bad you couldn't stay longer. Was this your first trip in the ship?

Thanks. And you meant my first trip in this kayak this year? No, I have been out kayak fishing about at least 5 times since iced out earlier in March this year...

Yes. Let's see your real machine out on the water, as I have been waiting for you to get out with her for YEARS:-)

Two years now James....first the 1 year wait for the Ulterra trolling motor damn covid.......then the disappointment of weight distribution.....hope it's all better now.

Nice lakers and very well done for 2 hours of fishing.

Driving for almost twice more and not catching would hurt me a lot.

I understand the bait is intentionally put under angle to the shank to have more strikes?

Thanks. And the bait is intentionally put under angle to the shank to have more strikes? No. It was not my intention. The (so-called drifter) bait was simply too soft, the shank became angled relative to the bait:-)

No, the shank was not bent, but tore the soft stuff around it...
