Winchester Lake: 4-26-08
Message:
First time taking my hobie kayak out this year. Went up to Winchester Lake where I had caught my PB 6lb LMB last year hoping to get another. Date/Time: Saturday 4-26-08 / 7:30am - 2:00pm Weather: Overcast early and windy to partly cloudy mid afternoon Water temp: don't have a water thermometer (anyone know a good cheap one?) Caught 5 LMB and 2 Calico Unfortunately only 1 of the 7 was a keeper and not that much at that: [img:350e64191e]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/n8cas/Winchester4-262lbLMB.jpg[/img:350e64191e] ALL 7 caught on: [img:350e64191e]http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/n8cas/husky_jerk_FT.jpg[/img:350e64191e] except my lure was of the older color version of the rapala perch But it was a fun day and a good start to the season. I'm still a beginner looking to improve my techniques and know-how so I can pull in more fish than I did last year as a rookie. Anybody have any suggestions for taking better pictures from my kayak? I don't have much room to move around out there and it's just me, myself, and I. I'd like to take the best pics to gage size and I'm not sure the "hold in front of the camera' is the best technique. Luckily last year another boater was close by to take some pics of my personal best, but what if no one's there next time - any suggestions?

If you are able to get your rod and reel next to the fish in the picture it makes it easier to gage how big it actually is. Nice report.

That's a good idea, I'll make sure to at least get my reel next to the fish for some perspective. Most of the fish were caught in the shallows if anyone is interested. The 'keeper' was caught in the back cove east side next to a pair of fallen trees. The wind made it difficult to get a good feel with senko's on the bottom in the stumps. It wasn't too windy to bring it in, but it was exactly as PAPPY described it in his highland tourney report from Saturday - Consistent moderate wind generally out of the E, SE - the back cove was somewhat protected.
