awsome.. just awsome

We passed a bunch of yakkers comin into the launch yesterday mornin

Nice trip and you ain't lieing about the work out part... me and Merc made our first trip Saturday and we was dragging

Yak full

Awesome....can't wait for my jackson cuda to come in. Starting to regret ordering a custom color instead of picking up one in stock.

What color did you get

Urban camo

I liked that, I got upland camo

I got the black widow.... We fished comm point yesterday morning.. Caught a few specks on topwater boat traffic running within 50yrds of us all morning didnt help our success one bit. Made the water stay rough as hell and then the wind picked up

Awesome trip!

Where did you fellas launch from to get to West Cove, west cove canal?

Hell yea!!! Nice work guys! I think these pics finally helped convince my wife

Nice report! Great job. You kinda set the bar pretty high for your first trip!:smokin:

I am ordering me a Jackson Coosa in forest camo!!!

I meant upland also

Great job

Hell of a trip right there. Good job!

Great trip! How far did yall make it out into the cove?

Nice catch guys!!!

Good catch

nice haul man!

NICE!!!!

We did not make it very far into west cove.

ice chest
 

wht kind of ice chest do you have ? new to yak fishing and wanting to see the best way to keep fish

nice catch fellas

Check Austin kayak on Google.... they have some

Kayak Cooler
 

Here is a link to the Chest we used. It held a 20lb bag of ice all day and kept fish cold. I chose it because of its low profile look.. I didnt want a tall/bulky bag. The cooler is made for a specific Native Systems kayak but fit just great in our different branded yaks.

Yes thanks Brent for turning me on to that ice chest

:smokin:

Thx buddy

Awesome first trip. My first trip was Saturday. Even though we didn't kill the fish we had a blast.

How do y'all fish west cove in yaks? Any reefs within paddling distance?

They have reefs all over the west end of west cove....you can catch aalot of fish right at the mouth of the west cove launch cannal as well as cross reef.

Right at the mouth as in where all the crab traps are?

all around that area, and the cuts in the cannal for flounder and reds

SPECKLEBUTTCHEEKS said ya'll better quit potlickin his hole!

no no no thats all wrong............I dont even know that dude :-)

I had talked to him the night before and he said it was ok........west cove is a BIG place ;-)

That cooler is a beast it held 18 trout 5 flounder and three reds along with a 20lb bag of ice......i still had a lil ice after 10hrs of fishing

I like to keep it local and I get ALL my yak gear from pack and paddle here in Lafayette.

Yeah, Pack and Paddle in Lafayette is a great place to get your fishing gear for yaks!

Hey if yall want to extend your yaks range try this.
