I got chance to kayak the lower arm of Beaver Lake on March 23rd. It really got warm which means it really got windy. If you get a chance to click on the short video, you see what I mean. I basically kayaked and fished the cove. The ramp had quite the pitch and a lot of traffic, so this gave me an opportunity to give my kayak cart a try (works much better with my sea kayak then my heavier, wider fishing kayak).
The video was shot when I attempted to get up on the main channel. The waves were just too much for me, so I turned it around and headed back towards the bridge. The kayak was cooking! I swear I must have been going 5 knots by the time I got to the bridge. After that, I decided it was time to call it a day and head back to the ramp. I am anxious to come back to this area under some calmer conditions.
The next day I had a couple of hours to paddle Table Rock Lake in Stone County, Missouri. Conditions the next day were much nicer. We still had a little wind, but it was more manageable. This paddle trip was more about the fishing. I kayaked about 2 miles, and had a lot of time to fish some of the coves. I caught one of the biggest Largemouth Bass I have ever caught (full story at http://www.fishmissouri.org/ ) It is truly amazing how incredibly clear the water is at Table Rock Lake. This is one incredible lake!
Paddle ON!
