We did a small guided trip with Kris and his daughter Olivia back out on Lake Cunningham. The water was warm, crystal clear, and for the most part calm. We launched out yaks on the north end of the lake from my Mother's house. We headed across the lake and started fishing, there was quite a few people out on the water. I was surprised at how many other kayaks were out enjoying the beautiful spring day. I think I counted a total of 7 other yaks out playing, some were just out paddling and other were fishing like us.
We fished most of the "blow-downs" on the right side of the lake and had some pretty good success. Olivia and I both missed two nice fish and Kris was able to land a few. Kris actually caught and Large Mouth and a Bream at the same time. We made our way down the lake to a beautiful field area that usually always hold fish. This gave us time to put the rods down for a few and enjoy paddling together in a small group. I was in my WS Ride 115, Kris was sporting a Perception Caster AA, and Olivia was in a Perception Pescador AA.
Cunningham is such a great little hidden gem of a lake. The Fishing there is incredibly great right now, and the paddling is always wonderful. For a small lake it is very diverse with all of it's wildlife. I really enjoy watching all of the birds and turtles. We were very fortunate to see a Paragon Flacon, the "fighter jets" of the bird world. It is truly amazing how fast the Paragon is. The Blue Cranes were also out all over the lake, believe we saw about 6 of them.
All of us really enjoyed our time out on the water together. I love taking groups out big or small, it is all about sharing an experience with someone. We were able to get some really amazing images, caught some good fish, and got some much needed time out on the water.
