Lake Sutherland Crappie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I still have the training wheels on and wanted to paddle some more before hitting the open sea this summer.. A long time friend and I took out kayaks to Lake Sutherland. After 8 hours I ended up with two and lost four. One could not have been a crappie as it hit so hard the reel sang for 5 seconds and the kayak started moving until the 6 pound test snapped. It hit me like a freight train....

Excuse that last pic. I wear reading glasses and forgot to take them off. Seems like I am losing my mind as well as my vision.

I had a blast today reading the fish finder and looking at structure. Getting a Kayak allows me to get into tight areas and I feel like more opportunities have opened up at the lakes I have visited. These crappie are my personal best. I could never catch them this big from the shore line.
