So I had a lot of time to fish one day, which naturally meant I was going out on a kayak. As you can tell from the title, things did not go well. Notice the lack of any catches on that map. I fished, and I fished hard, for several hours. Unfortunately, there was no …

Shaky Head Master
Okay, not really, but it is becoming one of my confidence baits for sure. Especially when I have a day like I did in early September. I got out bright and early, again, on the Bonafide. I didn't bother tracking my trip or anything with Anglr. I just went out bright and early, about 6 …
September Fishing
September has been a good fishing month for me. Last year it was when I landed my PB, and this month had some good fish in it. It definitely started off pretty good. Before September hit, though, I did squeeze in just a few minutes of fishing at the lake to wrap up August. I …
One hell of a day on the water
I got up bright and early and went to Lake Shenandoah as early as possible. The fine folks at Bait, Boats, and Bobbers got me out in a kayak as soon as I could. It was still dark out when I was hitting the water, which means the topwater bite was on! I managed to …
Taking some time before summer’s end
My life is one tied to a university schedule, and as such, taking time before summer ends it important. Naturally, I spend as much of it fishing as I possibly can. So on a particular Wednesday morning, I went out and decided to do a little more kayak fishing. I managed to get a lot …
A decent weekend of fishing
Any weekend where you can go fishing is a good weekend. Catching fish is a bonus, and going more than once is wonderful. The weekend of August 9-11 was a wonderful weekend of fishing for me. None of the trips were big fish catching days, but all were good. It started on Friday when I …
Last hurrah of vacation week
I didn't get to go fishing nearly as much as I would've liked during my vacation week. That Saturday, though, I managed to spend all day on the water because my wife went to a conference for the day. So I hopped in a kayak and did two rounds: one in the morning, and one …
Big mistake…
On June 23rd, the day after I hit up the JMU farm, I went fishing at Lake Shenandoah. I was just walking the bank, but the grass had blown up and I couldn't get a cast in without having to pull off a ton of the stuff. The day was hot and no one was …
Most bass in one day
Now, I am not one to say I am a kick ass angler. I'm really a novice at this whole game. I fished a lot while younger, but that was very rudimentary stuff in comparison to what I'm doing these days. So I get skunked, a lot, and a two fish day is really something. …
Kayak Fishing: Round 2
On May 18th, I decided to head out to Lake Shenandoah, as usual. I started off my morning doing a little pitching in the lily pads that take over the western end of the lake and came up with nothing. About the time I was heading around the rest of the lake, Keith opened up …
