We decided to make the most of the nice weather and packed the van the previous night, got up extra early and loaded the Kayaks on the van before the school run. We were on the lake by 9.30am.
We took it quite easy, and I spent a fair time fishing – catching three fish. There was hardly anyone on the lake. We stopped here for lunch and to have a swim. It may not look like it but the lake drops to over fifty feet deep very quickly at this point. Very quickly being about ten feet from the shore.
I’m looking forward to changing the color of my paddles to something a little darker.
Note: I sprayed them camo green a week or so later. Here’s the result and some notes on the modifications and additions I’ve made to my Ascend FS10 kayak.

After paddling for 3 miles, and fishing for a while (yes I managed to catch a fish), we stopped to have lunch and explored a nearby bluff. The view was superb, but the area has been ruined by messy locals leaving loads of trash behind while using the place for partying.
This bluff is across an inlet from High Point access.

Tom took me night fishing on Stockton Lake, and despite a slow start we managed to catch some nice fish. The sunset over the lake was absolutely stunning.
