FW "09" Yak Schedule

Eric, out of curiosity, where will we launch for the delta event?  Tiki Lagoon?

Michael

Sorry Guys Comp. was down for last two weeks.
We will be launching at Tiki Lagun off Hwy-12 west of Stockton
They have Camping and R.V. space avail.
I will also start a roll call in about a week where I will post a link to Tiki Lagun

i originally planned on making all 5 of your events eric, now i may be lucky to make 3.  i wont be able to do the delta event thanks to business travel, although i will try to kayak fish that weekend in FL!

Thanks Eric.  No problem about not having a thread by now.  Figured I was jumping the gun anyway - a sign of how desperate I am to get out on the water.

I hear you Ben!  I missed the butt turnout and will be on vacation for the Hogan event.

I'll be at the delta event though, come hell or high water!

Michael

are there any rookies going to this event? Id like to try my luck, where do you guys fish, righ there near and around the launch, is it all slow water canals?

Also I suck at bass fishing, i need some tips!!!

I will be posting a Roll Call next week but here's a link to Tiki Lagun for those who want to make a res. for the camp or R.V. sites. Linda the Manager of Tiki said she would not charge for launching the kayaks however there will be a $10.00 fee for parking (Iron Ranger).

This is the perfect event to learn. I did a hookup early this year with HobieBlue and it was the bomb! My first bass!

hmm, looks fun, what type of rod you guys running?

Looks like it's time for the Delta Event.
If you are going to attend this event please read the FW Delta Roll Call post.
See you all there
Eric

P.S.
Porky,
For this event I would suggest a 6-1/2 to 7 foot med. heavy or heavy rod with at least 12lb line. Early top water followed by Senko's and Jig's as the day warms poss. try a Swimbait or Spinnerbait.

For a current Delta report call Tim at Fisherman's Warehouse (Manteca)
He has fished the Delta his whole life and is a great angler

ok, great what about delta attire on the yak, ill have is a spring suit, a full suit and a rain suit?

shorts and a t shirt if the weather is nice.  the water temps are probably in the high 60s right now so i wouldn't be overly concerned about getting dunked.  the area around tiki is not that wide and the current is not that strong so you can swim to each side if you fall out.  i usually wear waders but thats just so i dont have to worry about sunscreen on my legs.  spring suit would work fine as well. 

just make sure to be safe and keep your eyes (AND EARS) open around blind curves and stay out of the middle of the channel.  lots of power boats in the area who will buzz you and could potentially hit you if they dont see you.

ok, thanks for the heads up!

so the water canals that will be fished are on "fast water", meaning no low speed limits for the boats, corrects?

some areas are 5mph, some are not. the delta is a hodge-podge of no wake zones.

thanks guys!

it was kinda scary sitting there quietly in the fog when you hear one of the cigarette boats open up the throttle. see you all there!
