Default Ramah 11/15

Fished Ramah area this morning in my yak. Caught a few bass, nothing big but steady bite. All caught on plastics, brushogs, worms and flukes 15 fish from 6:30 - 9:00.
Can't get to it with a motorized boat that needs a launch, low water has the path blocked. Gotta have a yak or something you can push in off the levee.

south of I-10 along the levee. Don't know the exact name of the waterway. Every week I put the yak in at a different place and give it a try. Hope I never run out of places to try, fish or not.

Before buying a yak you might want to think about the pros and cons versus a boat.

No monthy boat note, insurance, registration, launch fees etc
Won't be stopping by gas station each week to put $50 + in gas/oil
Not spending fishing time repairing trailer bearings, lights, tires etc
Not being able to work on motor lower unit oil, water pump, fuel filter etc.
Not spending hours fixing boat nav lights, aeroter/bilge pump, electronics
Reduced tackle inventory since you can only bring a couple rods
Not being able to wait in line at the boat launch in the morning
Having to fish in remote areas with no body in sight
Extra parking space in garage
Getting a work out and burning calories on each fishing trip
Only taking 15 minutes to load and prep for a outing.
Bay/Bass boat may collect dust in the garage

Don't rush into the yak thing

That area's pretty good. I cut my teeth when I got my 1st boat in 1991 on that side and the other side of the levee. This time of year you can pull some nice bass out of those canals. Stays good for bass due to water circulation. To get to where you are at you probably got to run along way from the Grand River inside the levee launch.
