Arrived at Cassidy just after 8pm, light was quickly fading. Moments before I got to the lake I was frantically leaving Cabelas with a new budget fishing yak! This was my first attempt at yaking, and I really wasn't sure what to expect.

I decided to tie on a small red and white jig tube I have had for a good 15 years or so why not? I missed so many fish I couldn't stand it! Realized the old tube was trailing away from the hook and fish were missing the stick. A dab of crappie nibble stuff and a nice 11" fish got the hook. Its mouth ripped as I yanked it in the boat and off came the hook just in time to land my first Cassidy Crappie! One more fish hit my jig as I moved locations and left my line in the water. I pulled it up a little fast and a little crappie went flying into the lilies. It was getting too dark to see my line so I decided to head back after only an hour of fishing.

Loved the yak, rod holders were great to have. Speed is so much better and smoother than the pontoon, hauled it back to the launch with ease. So much for the name, think I found my new favorite small lake boat, cheers!
