2019 kayaking season = over for me, 5 months or so until spring pike?

[Skippy]

Officially put an end to my 2019 fishing season. The kayak is put up until spring 2020.

I enjoyed my time on the water. Worked on some techniques that I was not as confident in this year.

Some worked out, for example chatterbaits are in my rotation now. They didn’t always produce for me, but there were days where they produced both numbers and better sized fish.

Others not so much. I have had little luck with any type of top water - be it frogs, poppers, ploppers, or buzzbaits.

Next year I plan on trying to work in some more hard jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits and work on slowing down with a drop shot when the bite slows down.

To those that are still out fishing, or will be out when the ice arrives, tight lines and be safe.

Thank-you for all the reports this season and incite.

You had a great year & always good to try new lures and techniques

As for chatterbaits, for me.. They are still just chatter.. LOL Haven't caught much..

Went out 4X waterfowl hunting on my kayak but no real fishing on it.
Next year want to get out back lake exploring on it with the fishing gear.
