Bass Pro Visit

[Firemonkey]

Thanks man. I've heard a lot about the Hula Popper, never tried one, same goes for crankbaits. Want to grab some so I can test them out and see what works best for me.

Also looking into Senkos plastic worms, what are your thoughts? Reviews on Bass Pro look pretty epic.

I've fished Senko plastic worms for bass around some heavy cover. I usually Texas Rig the worm to reduce snags. I don't know what it is with them, but they have a tendency to trigger strikes from lunkers. I would definitely give them a try and try fishing them with some different techniques. Here is one technique I've used effectively for less active fish. Using a three way swivel, tie on a floating plug. Then on the other side of the swivel put the senko worm so its floats under the plug about 12-16" (you can also use a tube jig). The action of the floating plug (twitch it or walk the dog) will get the less active bass' attention - but in most cases the fish will strike the worm.

I'll post photos of mine and as I rig stuff on. In the end it'll all be very similar to what most do to theirs.

tiago not sure exactly where you're located in the GTA but i'd be happy to head out with you and try to put you on to some fish. maybe we can link up some time soon?

another great thing about the yaks - backcountry trips. a major reason i got the kayak vs. a tinner, in addition to the stuff you mentioned like gas, motor, trailer, etc. was so that i could load it up with camping gear, take my fishing stuff, and head into the algonquin interior. i'd considered buying a canoe (usually just rent at the outfitters) but i've never found them very enjoyable to fish out of. and alot tougher to rig the way you can with a yak

I spend half my time in Toronto, the other half in Brampton. I'm down dude, PM me when you're down or have something planned. I want to get the most out of this, the more times I head out with it the more it was worth it. Also, nobody I know owns or cares to own a kayak.

If I wasnt so unstable with a kayak I would have invested a while ago, but because of the tourny fishing, its hard to commit time to it when I am not practicing.

Dude, I thought kayaks were unstable too. I've tipped over in a canoe more than once, and would never ride one again let alone buy one. Figured, kayaks? Yeah, gotta be even worse than canoes.

NOPE.

Even if you try, it's difficult to do so. I've seen videos of some people taking them out in rough waters and still nothing.

Like Christ said, I'm glad I invested in one and I love it.
