My first kayak camp trip.

Fish and trips
I have always been a goal oriented person and naturally when it came to kayak fishing I developed a few goals I wanted to complete. When I decided to start Kayak fishing I wanted to catch as many different species of fish as I could and even now I never go out hunting for any specific type of fish. I have caught over 10 different species of fish since last June most on the Little Red River including Gar, Pickerel, Trout rainbow and brown, Drum, Small and Largemouth bass among others. There are many different species of fish in Arkansas and I hope to catch some new fish this year like a Walleye. Recently I have set a goal to float/fish the entire Little Red in sections from Greers Ferry Dam to the White River. There are 81 miles of river to cover in 8 sections I floated 3 of them last year and I hope to finish this summer. Someday I hope to do the same on the Buffalo River in northwest Arkansas.

Winter fishing
I have been able to get out many times so far this winter to fish the weather has been pretty mild and the fish have been biting. I have hit the Little Red river near Red River shores and at River side park near Searcy. Here are a few images from my trips.
The picture of the map is a 5mile float I completed from Red River shores to Riverside park, I included a pic of the low water dam I had to cross as well.

Greers Ferry Lake and Little Red Fishing.
I took the Kayak out to Greers Ferry Lake in Heber Springs Tuesday September 4th. I put in at the Highway 25 Recreation area early am. The water was nice calm and clear. I wasn't able to find the big fish
but caught about 5 sunfish.

Lake Bald Knob 8/25/12
This was the first time I have ever caught a fish of a top water bait I was using the Rage Tail frog rigged weedless. It was awesome watching the bass hit the bait. It would have been a much better day but the rain moved in and I was unable to get the bite back after it passed. But I will be back there very soon!!
