Went to the coast to go yakking this evening but to much chop on so decided on a local lake I have paddled on before. Great fun practicing plugging and trolling with one little pike of about 4lb to show for it

Where was that Ken ..? Greengrass or Dacre ??

[Davo]

A small pike, but a good day out though.

Dacre mate, take the caravan there occasionally in the summer 

[Jellyworm]

Shame you can't take the yak onto Motorway pond....had pike to just under 30lb from there.....then there would be a fair crack at the bigger carp....I know where they hold up in spring just never had the night ticket to fish the H&DAA CLASS A waters ...only ever had a class B pass.

Be good to see on the fishfinder Dave  . Noticed on Dacre the fishfinder was spot on showing shoals of roach n rudd and weed formations - looked like a bl**dy fishtank

Great report Ken, I'm looking forward to some Piking from the yak this year for sure. Hope to have a few sessions up in the Lake District all being well, will be heading out on to the Tees as well. Will be nice just to fish from a yak, no matter what I fishing for

Cheers mate, I just love the lakes, I paddled Derwentwater a couple of years ago, dieing to get back up there. The scenery is amazing from water level  . Only ever fished in Cumbria once and that was on Eshwaite for trout from a boat, great fun

Well if you ever fancy a session yakking for Pike in the Lakes then give me a shout Ken, I've plenty of Pike lures if you are short of any 

I used to boat fish Derwent years ago, great place with loads of features. Unfortunately by the time I was just sussing out the place I stop fishing  but I'm very keen to get back over there. Hope to be over there in May sometime.

sounds great to me mate  . We have stopped at that campsite right on the banks of Derwentwater with Keswick in staggering distance  . Some great launching from there, also if you a little adventerious there are a few grade 3 whitewater runs stright off the site - not sure if the Ocean yaks are suitable tho   

[Sambo]

Never stayed at that site Ken, I've stayed at the site just past Bassenthwaite though. Not sure if I'm suitable for whitewater never mind the ocean kayaks!  One step at a time me thinks 

Like I say matey I fully intend to Pike fish the Lakes in May so if you are interested then we'll have to get something organised. I have a few waters that I think could be well worth a go, including good old Derwent Water 

I need to get out the yak first and get used to it before fishing but hopefully that won't take to long.

well done Ken, nice little pike
