Getting
started-
It’s the start of your kayak
fishing season and you have all of your kayak safety gear, fishing gear and your
ready to go hunt for some fish on your yak. Largemouth bass fishing can be some
of the most rewarding that you can do from your kayak. They’re very aggressive
and abundant in New England fresh water ponds, lakes and river systems. They
fight well, are acrobatic, pretty easy to find and can entertain with awesome
top water strikes. Whether it’s fly rods or light tackle, targeting this species
is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

My boredom and curiosity was the
reason for finding this seemingly untapped fishery. I decided to look at some
tributaries that went off of the Merrimack wanting to find herring and possibly
some early bass chasing them in a couple of weeks. So I got on Google Earth (a
very valuable tool) and started writing down towns and street names. Then I was
off, hiking around and having a blast just looking at new areas. I figured
since these bass get all the way into Lawrence then why not these feeder creeks
and other spots even closer. While hiking along this very high bank overlooking
a tributary, I see like 10 HUGE FREAKING FISH!!!!!!
I just about fell down the hill and
hopped in a tree to get a better look. They all look to be about twenty pounds
each!!! But they are not bass.....and a bunch have their tails in the air? I
watch as they closer and closer...carp??? I WANT TO CATCH UM!!!! So I watch until
the water settles down and they are gone. Then I run home and fire up the
computer. I read all day and night trying to figure out how to catch them. I
remember fishing at my local pond and seeing these beasts not hit anything that
anyone offered, so I knew it would be hard, but man oh man I knew I had to catch
one!!!
I head out the next day, same
place, same time everything perfect…

Fishing can seem pretty bleak around November, the last of
the stripers have gone, water temperatures have dropped and fish have become
less active. The time between the last
of the stripers and ice fishing can be frustrating for many yakkers, either the
season is over or stocked trout become the target. For those of us who fish
year round November and December can be great months to experience the variety
of freshwater fish; the stockies aren’t the only fish willing to bite in cold
water.

Knowing about the fish you are going after can help improve your odds as a fisherman. For instance, by studying the striped bass’ anatomy you can glean clues about characteristics and behaviors. Comparative anatomy is a science that compares the differences and similarities of organ systems between species. For example, a fish has a set of nostrils like a human does, yet, unlike a human, they are only used for smell, and not breathing. However, most fish just have a set of holes through which water flows. Yet, unlike most fish, a striped bass has a pair of nostrils on each side that maintain a connection between the nostrils and the mouth, like in humans. This actually allows for smell and taste to be integrated and shows us that the striper, as a fish, relies on smell and taste a lot more than vision to navigate through its world of water.

The least you need to know

Let’s face it, most of us spend more money than we’d care to admit purchasing not only our kayaks but all of the gear we tote along with us on our fishing excursions. But, not all of us have purchased a VHF radio and carry it with us every time our kayaks get wet. The cost of a VHF radio is small compared to many of the other purchases we make without hardly even thinking about it and the value could be incomparable to even the smallest kayak fishing purchase you have ever made.
