A couple of Lake Austin virgins popped our cherries today. Herzog and I fished LA from about 11:00 to 4:00. It was my first time ever fishing out of my yak and both our first times on LA. Though we didn't catch a double digit bass or end up with a 40 lb stringer, we had a great day. Herzog's biggest were an 8 and a 5. My 2 biggest were a 6.5 and 5 (BTW, I'm the not so shaggy one ;D). We were very happy for a first time on LA and were already talking about next year.

Met a couple of other ABFers on the water. One of which caught a giant that he will hopefully be posting pics of soon.

Man I look like a beast!!!

If you look at the zoomed out version of this photo you will see me actually sinking in my yak.  for some reason I took on a ton of water in my hull.

Bobby........should be 30lb stringer not 40lb stringer( I Wish)

I don't think it's the yak if you know what I mean. ;D

Good job guys, thats has been a great spot for some green fish, even better the paddle time to hit the shoreline!

Glad to see you had fun on LA...Congrats on those nice fish!

I never fished LA during the drawdown.

By the way............I caught all of my fish on a 1/2oz watermellon football head jig w/ a powerbait trailer.

Ryan - my friend and I noticed that the back of your yak was riding a little low but just figured you must've had a lot of gear in back - didn't know you were taking on water!

Yeah.....I did have a 12v battery in the back b/c we were running the depth finder, but it crapped out on us so it was all for nothing.
