Thanks! I struggled a little this year with my mindset, as I raised my expectations and didn't meet them, but I guess that is something everyone goes through when trying to learn something new and challenging! Hopefully it pays off next season with better results!
Next time at Cave Run check out the area south of highway 1274 at Beaver Creek. Difficult at best to get a conventional boat into this area. Perfect for small craft.
Truly love your video style and how it sort of establishes a time line!😁 glad you and your friend were able to remove the hook. That honestly is the one thing that I'm always worried about when I fish alone.😬
Thank you! I figured since I'm not catching an exciting amount of fish, I should turn the videos into a "come along with me on my tournament weekend" sort of thing. I'm glad you enjoy it!
I was unprepared to see the bears sign at the campground, didn't even think to bring bear proof food storage! Luckily we got away with our sloppy preparations.
@@GirlGoneFishing just bring some bear spray next time. Funny story, I was hiking a short trail in the Grand Tetons. There was fresh pile bear scat on the trail right beside a bear warning sign. LoL
I really like Brookville, been there twice and definitely trying to get back before winter! I follow the Indiana kayak trails on facebook, and what intrigues me are these gravel pits that they pull 20" inch bass out of! I need to check some of those places out!
Aw, my hubby's not caught anything in the last couple Buckeye tourneys, so you're not alone. He's used so many type lures as well. Do you think water temp has alot to do with it? Loved the beautiful lake views!
I guess part of the trail bonding is that we all struggle together! This is all so new to me still, I'm learning that it is only partly about fishing, it is also equally about managing your mindset and emotions as you get more invested in the sport, which I didn't do very well this season! I wish I could talk to the fish and understand! It drives me crazy that there aren't many concrete answers to what you need to fix to catch fish, it is all constantly changing. I'm sure water temp affects them, but I didn't think it really mattered until it got down into the 50s... but again, those dang fish won't tell me what they are thinking, so I have to just guess! I bought a pile of books on fish behavior to read in the off season, maybe by next spring I'll understand more! I love your sea glass art, by the way!
J was frustrated, too, but he tried to enjoy being in outdoors in the beauty as well, as you do. I'm fishing through you, so keep 🐟 ing! Thanks for the kind comment, finding beachglass was my first way to enjoy Lake Erie and now any body of water. 🌊😊
I rental the lynx standing and turning we’re top notch. Foot pedals made noise and burn out my legs didn’t feel like I was moving fast in flat water is that normal with your lynx?
My Mirage Drive doesn't make any unusual noises, it is a pretty quiet kayak in my experience. As for the leg burn, the "Hobie kick" definitely uses muscles I don't use every day, so it take a little bit to build up muscle stamina for kicking for miles. Some people prefer the "bicycle pedal" motion in some of the other pedal drive kayak brands, although I much prefer the Hobie style drive.
@@GirlGoneFishing thank you for the help im still interested in the lynx so I will try a different rental place make sure the drive is functional properly before heading out spend the day fishing with the lynx.
The guys at Strictly Sail customized that for me, cutting down that rail from, I think, an Outback kit way back when the Lynx first came out and a lot of accessories weren't available yet.
Here is how I see it... Cave Run is one of the most beautiful lakes around here and every time I'm there I feel lucky to spend time in such an amazing setting. I've caught some really nice bass there, and there is always a chance at an accidental big muskie with every cast. It is challenging to find bass there as it is with a lot of our local pressured waters, but that doesn't deter me!
@@GirlGoneFishing almost all the bass you catch are in their slot limit of 12-15 inches. With all the structure, the weed beds, the standing timber, everything it has to offer. It should be producing better bass than it does.
I think there is so much attractive bass habitat, that the bass are pretty scattered. But I get what you mean by that slot limit… I have fished the Friends of Cave Run Memorial Bass Tournament a few times and been super frustrated with those slot fish. In kayak fishing we don’t have to abide by a slot limit since we practice Catch Photograph & Release in our tournaments.
