Well we loaded up the kayaks and hit the road at 2:30 in the morning to head for Lake fork. I thought I would be ready to hit the floor running but I was dragging bad when my feet finally found the floor. I've always loved this lake but I just haven't done well fishing her.I have to tell ya it was a looong 3hour drive.I went down there this time with my youngest son David and a couple more kayaking buddies, Brent and Tom.
We hit the water about 5:30. It was dark still so I didn't get any pictures until the sun started hitting the trees a few minutes later. There just isn't anything better then seeing a sunrise while on the water.
The early morning top water bite seemed to be tapering off as we put in the kayaks. David was throwing a spook when he ran in to this poor shad.
I hung in to a pretty good bass with a frog but she threw the lure before I could get her back to the kayak.
The cool morning darkness gave away to a scorching sun. However it seemed to turn the fish on to a little deeper bite. As it did we caught a couple swimmers.
Then it got warm. I mean real warm.
The day heating up wasn't all a bad thing though. It caused the bass to hit the structure in deeper water.
Brent caught the first nice size one.
I couldn't allow him to have all the fun so a couple minutes later I caught a chunk myself.
Tom hung in to a monster but she came to the surface and threw the lure :(
But just a few minutes later he redeemed himself with another fat ole' big.
David fished hard but only managed to get one more bass. But it was a very nice one none the less.
This was a really great day for me. I have been there a few times but haven't got into fish like i have today. Here's a couple more of what I was blessed with.
I saw some really great sign out there too. :)
At the end of the day we all caught great bass. I had to get off the water at 2:00 but I had a blast while I was there. I made two new friends and got to fish another day with my son. And to add to that, I got to see the sun come up one more time "While on the water"

Lake Lewisville
Zombie gave me a shout to fish and hang with a few friend at Lake Lewisville yesterday. I took him up on the offer, and am glad I did. We had a great time out on the lake. We marked a ton of sand bass on the fish finders. But they seemed a little hesitant to grab our hooks. But I still had fun spending the time on the lake with so many kayakers. Not sure how many their were total of us out there. I'm guessing 7-8.It's the first time I've fished that many people together in kayaks before. It was pretty dang cool.
I've been playing around with videos here lately. I've never tried this before so lets hope that this works....

Playsport/cart test
I purchased a Kodak playsport the other day. I haven't had much time to see what it is capable of doing yet. But so far I think it's a cool little camera. I really am liking the video quality it has. That, and the capability of underwater videos, will lend itself well to make some pretty cool videos in the future.
I also found a place that makes a kayak mount that attaches the camera to a extendable rod. I thinking it's going to be pretty sweat. I hooked the camera up to the mount on the kayak and headed to the lake with the new cart. I thought I would turn it on to see what the video looked like. it's pretty shaky because of the trail I'm walking on, but the camera still has pretty good quality.
