    My grandparents lived on the lake in a retirement park with lake access and we used to go down the st john's river all the time. Great memories there. It's a beautiful place! The only had part was the cotton mouths or water moccasins

    • @OldLadyAngler
      @OldLadyAngler  3 года назад

      YIKES... I think I fear those cotton mouths more than the gators. They're much more stealthy. I've probably only seen one or two. They're so aggressive too.

I've picked up lots of lures and soft plastics recently and haven't been out once in this early fall swing, are you renewing your lucky tackle box subscription or are you thinking of trying mystery tackle box???

      I don't subscribe to either of the boxes right now. I was getting too many duplicate lures, so I decided to take a break from LTB and MTB. It's fun to get the boxes though. Makes you try new lures that you might not otherwise use.

    It's a fun area to fish in the fall..not so much in summer ..very rude boaters flying at high speeds...I had manatees actually get under my yak and tow me out to the lake...fun and scary at the same time... I think maybe they thought I was a distant cousin because my yak is a gray muddy kind of color😂
    Be very very careful launching as water moccasins I have found a few in the lilly pads and at the dock where the ferry goes to transport people to island...great video as always!

      Yeah there were a few huge boats that just flew by me. Got me rocking and rolling. I would avoid this lake in the summer / weekends. Might be ok mid week. I'm always on the lookout for moccasins. Hate those snakes! Nasty mean! I saw SO many manatee early when I got there. I guess they hide out when it gets busy.

    @FitzYakin 6 лет назад

    Few things T. 1st, I'm jealous; looks like it was a beautiful day for you on the water. I went sledding today with my little one and there is ice already forming on shallower waters. 2nd, that was freaking awesome! What was that? A sea lion? And it wasn't a high pitched ear piercing scream from you. A nice subdued yell of surprise lol. 3rd, the BerleyPro Rudder. I need to know your thoughts on this because I've been eyeballing one for 6 or more months now. I like it better than the Boondox because I don't think it puts too much torque on the rudder cables like the Boondox does. And I just saw there's been a price drop on it at the Berley website. Let me know if you think it's worth the price. Thanks!

    • @OldLadyAngler
      @OldLadyAngler  6 лет назад +1

      It was actually HOT again today! I know I shouldn't complain.... It beats ice fishing! That was a manatee. They're pretty harmless, but I would hate to spook one and have it roll me! I actually only did the BerlyPro steering upgrade. Not the rudder. I wish I had done this long ago. I can turn on a dime now. I actually see no need for a new rudder. Maybe you could try just the steering upgrade first. I think you'll be pleased! Thanks for watching

    • @FitzYakin
      @FitzYakin 6 лет назад

      Thanks T for the info. Yeah I've seen the steering upgrade from Berley also. Which looks sweet but I was thinking the rudder would keep you a little straighter without having to make constant hand adjustments. Lol and as I was looking around I found a trolling motor mount at ACK for the Slayer Propel series. Now I like paddle or peddle power but that would be interesting for fishing bigger bodies of water without the Torqueedo price tag.

    • @OldLadyAngler
      @OldLadyAngler  6 лет назад +1

      I don't know if a longer rudder would help my tracking.... being that it's only a 10 foot kayak. She blows all over the place!

    • @FitzYakin
      @FitzYakin 6 лет назад

      A lot of people that have the Boondox says it makes a big improvement on tracking when going long distances. Did you check out that Native Transom Motor Mount? Drops in the same place the propel drive goes. Not sure if you're interested in electric power on your Slayer but if you are it's something to look at. Drop a cheap 30lb thrust trolling motor in there and you've motorized power.

    • @OldLadyAngler
      @OldLadyAngler  6 лет назад +1

      Maybe the rudder would help my tracking! Might be worth a look. The transom motor mount sounds cool but I'd have to add a battery to my kayak and I'm trying to keep from adding more bulk. That's part of the reason I don't have a fish finder. Don't want another piece of equipment to maintain.

    Good video & fish OLA. ( You always make good videos. ;o) Yeah, a loooong time ago, I had a couple different manatees scare me half to death like that. One of em surfaced suddenly with his whole back coming out of the water and blasted air out of his nostrils at the same time.......I about had a heart attack. I thought the Loch Ness monster had me, lol. Then immediate relief sets in once ya see what it is. Hey, on November 15th, I hit the south end of Farm 13 near the SW corner. Caught a 7 lb 12 oz bass on the #90 Whopper Plopper, and about 20 minutes later, caught a 6 lb 14 oz on the Bomber Long-A. 4 pictures of each fish, along with my "report" are posted as a short video at "Lunker012" channel. Check em out if ya like. ( Gerry added images of "cold winter"......and a few short pieces of other footage.......I guess to poke fun at his friends living up north. ) Going tomorrow morning ( Nov. 24th, Friday ), along with 2 dozen large live wild shiners. I'll be tossing lures too. The last cold front actually lowered the water temp into the low 70's now.......and those big girls are moving in to stage & pork up before the spawn!!! Praying for a mild winter, to make conditions even better soon!!! ( High North winds = dirty water.......and ruins the whole deal, like last January, February, March and April. It was terrible. For the Stick Marsh/Farm13 anyway. :o( ...... )

We've had a lot of North / NorthEast winds already this fall. Hopefully they calm down a bit. The Fellsmere bite should start really picking up soon too. I just wish some of that grass laying on top of the water would go away.

      That's the gopro remote. It syncs the 3 cameras that are filming me.

      I had 3 that I was using. All Shimano Curados. One is a Curado DC 151, a Curado 200i, and a Curado 200k. I like the DC 151 best.

      That's a super smooth reel. I love it. It was my favorite until I got that Curado DC 151.

    Since your a lady you can get away with screaming, but that was hilarious. As the good ole boys always say: "I love manatee... with mashed potatoes and gravy"
