Goose vs Kayak Angler

My friend Chad, over at KayakBassFishing.com told me about this YouTube video and I have to share it!

Is that INSANE ??  A PFD not only helps you float in the water, it can help protect you from a Goose!  Luckily the Goose didn’t land on his head!!

A Recipe for Fishing in Michigan..

I’m not much of a chef, just ask my wife.  Too much of this…. too little of that… I can screw up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  However, this year’s Lake Michigan Kayak Salmon Slam had all the right ingredients.

Michigan Kayak Fishing. com hosted its annual event on the scenic Lake Michigan shore in northwestern Michigan.  The outing blended the beautiful national seashore, rod bending strikes, tasty fish, a smoldering campfire, and friendly people.  Take all of that and bake at 68 degrees with light winds for 3 days.

Now for the meat and potatoes of the story…  The falling water temperatures brought on by fall, concentrate the fish (Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead) relatively close to shore.  This means that the kayaks can be launched from the beach and paddled a very short distance to the fishing grounds.  Most of the salmon fell to “Storm Hot ‘N Tots”  trolled at 1-2 MPH, but a few were taken with home-made salmon spinners.  The targeted fish can be found throughout the water column, and that’s why a fish finder / GPS combo is a must.

The weekend sounded so appetizing that it attracted both beginners and pros from Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Ontario, and of course, Michigan.  The meal did not disappoint and everyone that attended can’t wait to taste it again next year.
