Full Moon Bass Fishing at Nimisila- My First Time Out At Night In A Kayak

I had just fished an Ohio Kayak Bass Fishing tournament on Nimisila Reservoir in Ohio (tournament video on any GGF channel!) and we were all relaxing at the campground when I decided that this was the perfect time to try to get over my fear of taking my kayak out at night. I’m pretty okay with going out around 3am because I know sunrise is coming, but I am really scared of the dark water at night and have always shied away from night fishing. Since everything becomes less scary each time I do it, I made myself take advantage of this opportunity and launch my Lynx for some full moon night fishing. ended up only getting one bass and pretty much being too tense and worried to really enjoy myself even though my buddy, Utah, came out to fish which helped a little, but I am proud of myself for trying and I know the next time it will be easier. Plus it was really a gorgeous night and Nimisila is such a pretty lake, I would have been so mad at myself if I had chickened out and not even tried!

Thanks to Strictly Sail & Kayak for my amazing Hobie Lynx kayak… the fact that I feel so safe and comfortable on my Lynx is the only reason I would even consider this crazy night fishing plan!
