maiden voyage of kayak on monksville 06/07

[gwl2oneida]

Decided to hit the monksville reservoir for a few hours this morning. As a new comer to the yak world i was a lil apprehensive to go alone, damn I'm glad i went! I can totally see the attraction, its all in its simplicity. No motors that won't start or idle, no flat trailer tires or dead batteries. I'm hooked! I only purchased a basic 10'6" sit in, compartments and rod holders. Buy nothing fancy. Tracked pretty straight to my surprise. Ill need to add a fish finder and rod holders in the front but for an entry level yak at$349.99 I'm pleased.
Unfortunately, there was no fish to be seen, barely even bait fish. Text book scenarios. produced nothing at all. There were lots of guys out and i know pressure is non stop. However i personally just didn't see anything at all. Ill call it a successful failure.
