S.S. Stroker Chronicles

Got my first Kayak this winter, I started with just a plain-jane Emotions Guster to see how I like yak fishing. Put a couple rod holders on behind the seat and one in front of the seat. It works pretty well and I saved some money adding the holders myself versus buying the official "Guster Angler".

I have been out a few times playing around but this past Saturday was the first time I went out with the serious intent of putting the first fish in the boat. Fishing on my local reservoir was slow last weekend according to friends and the hut-master. But I was lucky enough to slime my boat with a great first yak fish.



I didn't have a scale or a tape on me so I don't know any of her stats but I was pumped regardless. Need to add a few items to the yak pack list such as a scale.

Congratulations. Hard to guess a weight from the picture, but I'd bet between 4 and 6.

Not a bad way to start off, congrats!

Took a trip down the flint last Sunday.

Looks like a great trip. Nice Shoalie.

Very nice! I've been wanting to do a trip down the Flint, just haven't looked into where to put in and take out at.

Nice pics and shoalie especially for that section of river

This was our first trip out, we weren't sure where to go either. We parked at Flint River Outdoors off of Highway 36 and purchased a shuttle ride up to Sprewell Bluff. It was a good half day float, we didn't hit it hard at all. Next time we are thinking about parking at the same location and shuttling up to Goat Mountain for a full day float.

Thanks for the tips, I'm going to look into doing a trip soon.
