 it was early April so that's why I had pants on.

How do you usually protect your balls from sunburn?

not ever sure what point of humor you're trying for the. That's a fail sir!

Nice striper. You can catch them that size on Lake Norman.

ours average around 18-22 inches. The biggest one I heard of last year was 52 pounds 5 miles down river from me.

Put a rack on the truck so I can haul two kayaks now.

You ready Johnny Rockets? It's a bit of a workout.

[ThPantherFan]

so what do you guys do if you actually catch one?  I've never seen a recipe for kayak before....any good?

 

Only you would come up with a comment like that.

 

[ThPantherFan]

Hell yeah! 

 

I've wanted to get one but sold my truck and a kayak strapped on top of a Lexus just doesn't seem like a bright idea even for me. It be cool to try one out to see if I like it also.  

 

You have to paddle alone.  Are you sure you are up to it?

I just woke up. What's this about strippers?

why did you choose a sit on top kayak? my sit in fishing kayak isn't comfortable for longer than a few hours.

I like standing up on it if I am casting an area or drifting a while.

No not yet, may make my way down there this year. 

 

So far mountain island lake is my favorite place locally for fishing. 

 

Love kayaking in salt water. You stay higher up in the water because of the density, makes things easier. Plan on some of that this year too.

Heck yeah, I'll plan on it. 

 

Do you go during the week or weekends?

saturday and/or sunday.

depending on how long you want to be on the river, there are several launches. the first in the SC catawba section is the lake wylie dam. 3.6 miles downstream is river walk and 3 miles from there is river park. these areas are rocky and can require an anchor to keep from drifting off. the deeper pools are found south of river park to landsford canal, but that's a solid 18 miles of slow moving water. there are no public launches that entire stretch, and it is completely undeveloped. really is beautiful. last time we did it, we camped on an island half way down the river and got up the next morning to finish the trip. i'm up for that again.
