Round 5 (free kayak) Huge success

Round 5 was a huge success fishing for  trout and  kokanee at Bass Lake. Most arrived about 5:30am and launch was around 6:15am and what a sight seeing all those yaks on the water

It seems the hottest technique was jigging for kokanee in 40ft of water with a P-Line jig and a couple hoochies above, which produced some quality fish.

Most of the fish were between 14 and 18 inches and boy do they fight on 6lb line

Even yakhopper jr. and friend were in on the fun.

After a full day of fishing and fun it was time to feast on Berger's and goodies and of course tell stories.

Than came the awards;
First place = Dennis Haynes
Second place = Bob Shaver
Third place = Sheryl Barrows
Angler of the Year = Bob Shaver
Congratulations to all who made this a success.

Also I would like to thank Ocean Kayaks and Fisherman's Warehouse of Fresno for giving me this opportunity to bring so many yakers together for such a great time. Watch for next years events.
The winner of the Trident 13 was Susan Shaver

Wow that is awesome! Nice kokanee too.

Looks like an awesome event. Thanks for sharing the great pictures.
