One of the advantages of having a kayak is I can get to some hard to reach places, which means I can fish lakes that receive little fishing pressure. This week I am going after a small local lake (large pond?) called Silver Lake and there is no topography map available for Silver Lake. However, given the technology available to us today, I was able to take this photo using Google maps. Although it does not tell me what a good topography map would tell me, it still tells me quite a bit.
I hope to arm myself with two weapons. I am going to use a floating broken rapala (which has been a family favorite for 30 years) so I can cover lots of water surface quickly while avoiding what could be an abundance of underwater vegetation. I will set up my second pole with what is now my favorite setup, a 7" plastic worm in a Texas rig. This will allow me to fish specific targets such as an underwater rocks or submerged trees.
Thoughts?
