Housatonic River - Derby 04/26
Message:
Daryl (aka Daryl), asianfisher (aka Billy), TurtleKiss (aka Kira) and I paddled/pedaled the Housatonic River from Derby in search of striped bass. Daryl paddled El Habaņero, Billy paddled his own orange kayak, Kira pedaled The Other Woman and I pedaled my new Hobie i9s (tentatively "My Inflatable Doll" :wink: ). We also ran into DaveyDave (aka Dave) and his buddy (aka NY Yankee Dad). Hey, guys! We got on the water by 8:45 am and off by 2:00 pm. It was a gorgeous day, what I consider to be the first Summer day that I've enjoyed this year. Kira ended up with a sunburn and, unfortunately, the only fish. I'm too tired and too busy to write a long report, so here are some videos and photos from our outing. The first is of NY Yankee Dad landing a nice 36 inch striper: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql8SpP2Xpoo[/youtube] Here's Kira's first ever striper: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qty_J6Fo5oo[/youtube] [img:266f1f5450]http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/3071/20110426housatonicriver.jpg[/img:266f1f5450] It took a while, but Kira and I finally got upriver, and caught up with Daryl and Billy: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8-rzOkQyPc[/youtube] Up by the dam: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kmCmrUiz34[/youtube] Heading back downriver: [img:266f1f5450]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3071/20110426housatonicriver.jpg[/img:266f1f5450] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oijwklp6Ous[/youtube] I plan to pick up some Slugos and blueback herring plugs before I go looking for stripers again. I also hope to be in better pedaling shape. :?
