2-21-2010 Stones River

I made it out today and tested out the NuCanoe. It went great. I was comfortable for the 4 hour trip and the fish decided they liked the YUM grub.

Temp: 60s
Weather: Overcast
Wind: 15-20 mph
Water: Did not get a reading but I could stand in it.

I ended up catching a 16" largemouth about 5 minutes into the trip. The next fish was only about 12". After that the day was sight seeing bacuse the fish did not want what I had.

The river was down because the lake is at winter pool. There is a lot of brush that looked good. Next time I'll take an ultralight to check for crappie.
Here is my NuCanoe setup.



 I'm adding a camera and a video mount. I'll post pictures later.
Until next trip.

  2. Curious? Where do you put in? Is it slow enough to paddle back up river, or do you have a ride to take you back? Thats all for now, not sure if Im gonna need an account to post so I dont want to write a bunch and find out I cant post. Now I see I can use my gmail. I recently started getting into kayak fishing and have only been down the harpeth. Due to the flood the narrows is closed and I am looking for another river section to fish that will be easy by myself. Any input would be great.
