We love fishing from our kayaks. It's been a while since we packed up and moved. We haven't had the yaks out and fished. I have been looking thru the pics... man you see some beautiful things, and since you aren't blasting thru the water 100 mph, you have time to enjoy them. Thought I'd share the views. Feel free to add yours. Too many BAD news stories these days.

When the sun is setting, you always want to get in one last cast.


Drift in the cove in the kayak, you don't scare away the sleeping residents.


Early morning fog, and out of the mist comes your friend.


This backlit pic of Ms. Tina was used in a Werner Ad.


I always like reflection pics. I thought this one would make a great 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle. It's the spillway at Bear Creek Lake State Park.


Sunsets are also a favorite subject

Thank-you so much for those wonderful pics. Very peaceful and serene, much needed these days. Back in the day, we used to do a lot of fly fishing from float tubes on small ponds and lakes. Not as mobile as canoe or kayak, but much the same kind of approach.

I take a lot of pics, I have THOUSANDS.... I love to look back at our times....

Like this one. Drove to Destin, where we had rented a house for the Thanksgiving week. Took to Hobies to fish Destin Bridge.


Fishing sucked, but we played with two pods of Dolphins who seemed fascinated by the pedal drive system of the Hobies. They kept swimming under the kayaks to check it out. They would zoom in full speed, and led us around the area for some time, then, at a command from the leader, shot under the bridge and were GONE!

Me, Me... Take MY pic....



We even night fished the Concrete Ships at Christmas at Kiptopeake... beautiful. We were hoping to hook a couple of the giant stripers. Then it started to snow, hard. Always an adventure.


As I have said, I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret. I look forward to the things I still can...

Come on folks, join in. Let's fill this thread. If you like the pics I'll find more. Share yours.

That is so cool about the dolphins.

We live on a secluded lake and paddle up the stream that feeds it. The stream and much of our lake is surrounded by impassable bog and marshes, so almost a wilderness setting. Here's hubby paddling his kayak up the stream. This stream has some amazing largemouth and northern fishing, with an occasional smallie, too.



I prefer a solo canoe to a kayak. Here's a pic of the stream from the canoe.


The view from our dock and my beloved Yellowstone solo canoe.

In the winter, I XC ski out on the lake.

Nothing as sweet or exotic. Have enjoyed finding catfish in the holes. I’ve given up on the yak, may be too unbalanced. Lol. Story of my life.

I really enjoyed the pictures, thanks for posting them .... they are of a type I'll never see first hand .... my preference in boats, bikes and other such conveyances is such that if I can't turn a key or pull a rope and hear a rumble, I don't go ..

Warms my heart to read thid thread!
Thank you ALL!

We do catch fish... big uns. This was at a farm pond in VA. Three gates, four pastures and ford a creek, but worth the trip.


I catch a few nice ones too. This was also at the pond.


Sometimes, you have to know how to relax when fishing.


Of course, we caught salt water too... yummy, redfish. Rudee Inlet, Va Beach.


Miss T got on the scoreboard.

Great pics Jim....thanks for sharing!

We've taken some 5 pound plus Largemouth from our lake and creek. That's about as big as they usually get this far north. This is actually musky country, up here, though. People come from all over the country to fish for musky in our lakes. Very big deal.

I have a good friend that lives just outside of Green Bay. They always go Walleye fishing. Ya get any of those that far north?

The things you see from the yak!


I'd love to know the story behind this...


Tina could tie on a lure, laugh at a joke and steer her yak by shifting her weight, all while standing and drifting.


I nicknamed our Kayak Fishing Club's first fishing get together A "River Raid." The name stuck. We would gather somewhere as a group, fish, cook, camp, and socialize. It was great.


Again, lot's to see from the river...

More great pics. Thanks.

We do have lots of walleye fishing, up here. Not surprising since our county has 1100 named lakes and the county to the north has even more. This is the Wisconsin lake country.

Love then otter. We get a family that visits our lake to fish through the ice in the winter. They love to play by sliding in the snow.

Very cool! I figured you had plenty of Walleyes. The Otters are a bonus! ☺
