Re: Kayak Fishing
I love fishing out of a Kayak; I have fished Floyds Fork several times with my buddy Don. We actually were interviewed and have our picture in the Neighborhood section of the Courier last year for an article about annual clean-up. My buddy has moved to Houston so I am certainly looking for people interested in fishing it. We usually catch a number of small mouth when we go. We actually catch fish all day long; but there are periods we get tired from catching so many. There are a couple of places to put in I know of but I understand the city is adding more. The places I know of are at Miles Park and Floyds Fork Park.
I also have Kayaked Harrod's creek a few times. So far the fishing there is not as good as at Floyds Fork. I plan to go to Elkhorn a couple times if I can. I heard the fishing there is great. I have waded it a couple of times but not Kayaked it. Last year was the first year with my Kayak. There is a web site for Kayakers in Louisville. I will put a link for that on this board later today. Set up like Facebook.
I also enjoy fishing larger ponds and have even fished out of my Kayak at Kentucky Lake last fall. I enjoy fishing out of my Kayak more than my boat because it is easier if you are by yourself. I can carry five rods but usually take four. The Kayak brand I have is a sit-on type; Malibu Mini Fishing Kayak. The also have Malibu Mini that is not set up for fishing. It is 9'3"; fits perfect in the back of my Ranger truck.

Wow, sounds like you all like going fishing from a kayak as much as I do. If you're looking for a place to talk more about kayak fishing in general, try joining the forums at www.kentuckykayakfishing.net. I just joined, and the site's pretty new, but it looks like if we get enough people to join it will be a great forum to talk fishing on.

I tell ya what I really liked was having some moving water with the Yak. It was fun to shoot through some of the riffles between the weeds and logs and then spin around to fish the sweet spots. I just needed an anchor and didn't bring it...I will next time.

Not out of a yak, but I fish out of a canoe all the time on Floyds Fork. If there's a bridge that crosses it, I believe I've put in or taken out there. I keep telling myself I'm going to take it to Elkhorn, but Floyd is so close and I have no problems catching fish there.
Come on warm weather!

Yeah, fishing from a canoe is about the same thing. I was wondering, what stretches of Floyd's Fork seem to be the most productive for you all? I usually fish the Oldham County side, and have only found one honey hole near Aiken Road. Also, what have you been catching? I caught some largemouth bass, suckers, sunfish, and bullheads, but I'm really looking for channel catfish.
