Two part report, one I'm a dumba$$, two I still managed a few.

Well I picked up a yak on Saturday cleaned it up and waited for the opertunity to take it out on its maiden voyage.

I was going to go to Colorado Bend State Park to chase some whites, but being spring break decided against it. Instead I went to a little pond on FT Hood. Like the title says placed on a hill got in and slid into the water. Instead of a gradual incline I went into a hole. Pushed the nose in and took on water over the front of the cockpit. Need less to say I got wet. Pulled it back out drained the water and managed to launch for 15 minutes before it started getting dark. Managed these in the short time on the water.

All were ought and brought to hand on my 3wt TFO BVK. Foam bug for the gills, and #14 jig hook wooly bugger for the bass.
I did learn a few things on this short trip, one I need to install a anchor trolley and anchor, and maybe some outriggers until I get comfortable in my new toy.

Nice. I like bluegill, sunfish, all the different varieties. I like pond, River, lake fishing and don't do enough of it.

Lots of ways to get wet in a kayak, but they sure expand the water you can fish.
