Newton Lake Trip 3

Hello team! I just got done remastering my third trip to Newton Lake and I didn't remember half the stuff I cleaned out of that lake.

We started in the parking lot right by the actual boat launch. We were able to fill a whole trash bag in the parking lot. It was a quick clean up so I was able to get on the lake early.

A lot of people bank fish from the boat launch as well, so I was able to get right onto the lake and start clearing line out of the trees. After clearing some line I set my eyes on the first tire of the day.

I was fighting to pull this tire onto my kayak, but it was a lot heavier then the other tires I had dealt with. I originally thought maybe it was just stuck in the mud and I had to clear it out, but I realized that wasn't the case when I was able to get it to the side of my kayak.

I could not pick it up with one arm and load it on the kayak like I normally would, so I had to get out and try to load it on the kayak standing in the water. I was finally able to pull it out of the water and see what the issue was.

The tire still had the rim on it. The reason the tire was so heavy was because the rim corroded leaving small holes throughout it. That let the water and mud get into the tire, completely weighing it down.

After getting the tire onto my kayak and trying to launch, I found out that the tire would sink my kayak due to the weight. I had to think of some way to get this tire away from the water, so I decided to drag that bad boy up the hill. Up the hill there was some kind of municipal parking, so I left the tire there and moved on.

One tire became three really quick as I spotted the next two back to back. Tire number 2 was easy to lift onto my kayak except there was a garden hose attached to it that was tied down or stuck under a fallen tree. It took a little time to untangle the hose, but then I was on my way to the third tire.

The third tire seemed like it was a racing tire that you would use for a race track. It was really wide and really heavy, but a lot easier to get out of the water then the previous two tires.

A lot of the video after the tires consisted of pulling more fishing line out of trees. On the end of one fishing line had a Tokyo Rig attached and one of the other lines had a really nice popper on it.

In between all my cleaning I was able to also catch a bass for the video, so that helped finish a really productive outing.

Next episode I will be editing my fourth trip to Newton Lake. I can't remember how I did, but I do remember I catch a fish with a hook that I find that day!
