kilroy69 994 Posted September 14, 2018 The water in the lake was like glass and it was so easy to get around i forgot how long I was out. Ended up landing a 3lb bass that actually drug me around a bit. Instead of reeling I just let him wear himself out by dragging me. Took the boy out with me for an hour or so of it. It was a great day. Might as well enjoy it. In 15 days it could be snowing. I know. Rats ass. Fock off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,635 Posted September 14, 2018 That's great. Freshwater? I assume so. I was wanting to kayak. But if you kayak in the bayous of Houston. And yes, that's a thing. You have to dodge the dead bodies and the live alligators. And Judas, if you capsize? Your face will rot off from all the chemicals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 994 Posted September 14, 2018 Yea. It is a local spring fed lake. No gators. No dead bodies. Just great fishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthernVike 2,080 Posted September 14, 2018 That sounds boring, why were you not in front of a TV instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 994 Posted September 14, 2018 That sounds boring, why were you not in front of a TV instead. right. So is sitting in the woods waiting for a deer to step out at 7am in 10 degree weather. Im a glutton for punishment. I feel like were going to lose that ability in the next generation of kids that would rather hunt and fish on their device. Than do it themselves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,593 Posted September 14, 2018 Sounds awesome, I've been wanting to buy one for a couple years. Don't go and buy a 3 pound bass, it is more sporting to catch one yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,635 Posted September 14, 2018 I heard that here in Colorado, the new nanny state, even the have a non-motorized watercraft like that, you have to have something like a million-dollar insurance policy to take it out on Sloan lake or any one of the others. I hope to God I'm wrong about that. But honest to God would not surprise me given this place anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least in Texas boat insurance is optional if you are not financing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For motorized. Crap, I didn't realize Sloan was only 8 ft maximum depth. That's not a lake, it's a freaking reflecting pool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
