and then later met up with @Fisheromen. Headed over to an area which I quickly labeled "McFish Point" since he does seem to fish there often. Brought my lighter kayak(roughing it with no frills and no electronics) this morning. I felt bad for a few seconds when I reached "McFish Point" just ahead of McFish and within a couple casts I landed a 4.50lb bass. McFish arrived hin his tube seconds later and quickly landed a healthy bass just over 4lbs. Great start, but the bass after that were playing hard to get. The fish were there as I watched McFish miss 5 straight bass. Then the morning started to get better as I mixed it up with creature, craw and plastic worms after no takers on an underspin and crank bait. At this lake you are going to lose bass at times as they fight like crazy and find ways to come unbuttoned. So I missed some opportunites this morning, but what really keeps playing back in my head is I lost 3 bass that broke my 20lb. braid in the rocks.( I may bring rope next time...ha ha)
Anyway, still had a lot of fun and managed to land 13 bass this morning on a variety of plastics.
Only a few tiny bass were breaking the surface where we were, but @Fisheromen had some nice topwater action in a different area which must have been really fun. Always fun to see SDFish folks on the water.
Wish I caught her during the spawn
but you get the picture.
