kayaking & whatever.

Just a nice day to be out on the kayak,this time at Pinhook to enjoy some time out to relax.For in town and being a small and high stress lake it's usually good for a couple nice bass,or if you get lucky a pike. (still working on keeping video's shorter,but what to cut and what to keep?)

the creek is a quick and easy trip,but it's that time of year that it is getting crazy overgrown with weeds/algae to the point it's a pain to try paddling through it. but had a nice day and caught a couple bass,threw this together to share.

just part 2 of goofing around out on the river.

an old project from a vid class.

went out to goof off,kind of late but it was a nice day so why not get out for a while.I find I have trouble whittling down the hour and a half video clips to 15 minutes,so just chopped this one in half.

had this sitting around,took it the end of last year so figured I'd do something with it. (testing out a rod I replaced a guide on.)

Figured out my own setup to replace pole guides after a friend gave me a combo he gave up on using,the bottom guide was missing the insert so after watching a couple vids I came up with my own workstation out of stuff I had so it cost me nothing and worked great.

took a peek at simonton lake,far too shallow in the back and the front is 100 developed on every inch of the bank.

Managed to be up with the sun to take one more shot at Worster lake out in potato creek park,very well could be the last video/trip put there because it is a high pressure lake that far too many people fish. There are also far too many locations I can launch the kayak for free,there are several river launches and a few lakes that don't require paying at the entrance for access.

Been a while since I got around to a video,been a wacky start to the summer with rain every other day for a while.Managed to get out to the river and got a couple bass,nice weather to be out anyway.

Was an odd warm December day,so took advantage of it to get out again for the last trip of 2021.

went to the 12th street quarry (what we call it.) to kayak a bit and enjoy a fair weather day,not much for fishing due to a lot of rainy days making the water dirty.managed to find a couple lures and get them out of the tree's,I do that to keep birds and misc critters from getting hooked in the tree,and sometimes if another person is bank fishing I give a couple lures away to people.

took a trip up the Elkhart river,this video turned out much longer than I intended it to be,was just a good day even though the current can be a bit of a workout to go up river.saw some deer,spotted a small pike for a moment before it took off,was a little hot but worth it.

This one I dropped by the Merrifield Park public launch in Mishawaka and just goofed off going down river from that point,might not have been the best day for trying to fish but the weather was too nice not to get out there just to spend a lazy day on the river. slow current and low wind made it a good day regardless.

In this video I launched from Baugo Bay (overgrown with algae.) and went up to the bridge,trying out a some plastics and just take a look at whats there.it was a fun day with alright weather,did catch a couple bass but nothing of any size.

Dropped in to Baugo Bay but it was overgrown with alga and grass that made it a royal pain to go up the creek,but on the up side got a look at another section of the river.

this is the second part of the six span bridge trip I took to explore a new section of river I'd never been to.

this is part one of a trip to county road 17 and whats known locally as the six span bridge,first time there to go up river and see how far i get in 2 hours.the long trip made for a lot of clips to work with,that is why this one time I'll go ahead with a 2 part vid,I hope to get a out there in a couple weeks for a fishing video.

went to the 12th street quarry but it was a windy day,but managed to catch a couple while being blown around the water.it's kind of small and depending on the water level,it's between 25 to 30ish feet deep.

Played around at pinhook,never did any good before but it's been a few years since,and this time I have a kayak so I can reach where the fish are so this time I caught some decent bass.

kind of a short video from an early morning,it's a nice lake but a high pressure lake to fish with so many going out there to fish it. Bad part about that morning was the person working the gate said he though there was a tournament going on that morning,so hope to do a better video out there some other time.

Hit Baugo creek for a bit to play with a couple lures that have been collecting dust out of a lucky tacklebox for 2 years,channels are overgrown making it a pain to go up from baugo bay but went for it anyway.audio is sketchy because was windy on top of it.

just a few clips tossed together,some thoughts on the possible future of my channel and what I'd like to do.some kayaking to check out locations in my area,a couple fishing vids tossed in there,and possibly some magnet fishing if I can.

went down to the river to give it a shot,no luck this time with the water level as low as it is.spent a little time looking around before calling it a day,and found a couple lost lures and saved them from the tree limbs the were snagged on. music credit: https://acoustica.com/mixcraft Acoustic Guitar loop: author Michael Bacich piano loops: author Michael Bacich Drums Ride loops: author Michael Bacich

Another video finally,this time at a little river called Kankakee while getting in a little fishing. First catch was a lime green spinner, changed over to a Whopper Plopper top water lure. the 3rd after the battery died was a bright yellow spinner.
