Hey everyone, I am going fishing tomorrow morning, finally have an open morning. Has anyone fished the Jacob's Creek area? I am looking to do some bass fishing for a few hours.

I have never been on Canyon before in a kayak, so I was just making sure there isn't anything that I should know about that area.

Thanks for any help or info.

So I paid my 6 dollars and set sail about 7 this morning. I caught 5 total fish.

1 smallmouth about 10 inches long on a 6" blue and white rapala

4 largemouth- one 10", two 14" and one 17"- the small one on the blue and white rapala, the two middle on a green and brown imitation rapala, and the big one on a manns baby -1 perch pattern crankbait.

The lake was smooth as glass at 7 am. I worked the bank north for about 3 hours and then kayaked back. Evidently it was the way to go, the wind had picked up pretty heavy by the time I wanted to return on the main lake and the skiers were out and about. I was guarded by the bank once I got around the top of the turn and never noticed the waves or the wind. Good trip, I thought, for the first time on the lake.

Next time out, I think that I will take a crankbait that runs 10-12 feet deep. I didnt have anything that would run deeper than a couple of feet so I think that limited me on bigger fish. I had a pretty good time. If anyone wants to go to Canyon in the next few weeks, just let me know, I will try and work something out with my work schedule. I would like to get to know some local kayakers.
