We hit the lake 8-17-13. Me and my Dad. He has bad knees so he comes with me now and then. Sucks getting older, anyway we got 9 bass. The best 4 bass were 4.3 swim jig, 3.2 floating crawfish beaver bait, 1.5 swim jig, 2.5 beaver bait. We had couple short strikes just hitting the tails of the floating beaver bait. We tried something new and took rage trailer off and used the floating crawfish. I think they were finicky because of the short striking.

Here's a 19.5" and a 19" smallie from a bit of Kayak fishing in Northern WI a couple weeks ago (yes bad self taken photos, my buddy was way upstream when I landed both these) and my wife and I with a couple of Spots from Table Rock Lake. The Spots are nothing huge, but I don't get a chance to catch them often.

Well keep at it. Persistence pays off. I had a pretty rough Saturday not getting many fish and losing a big one at the boat. I was out there 13 hours in 90+ degrees. That kind of day takes it's toll on your mental state. I got back on the horse and Sunday was definitely better. I got a lot of fish from 2.5-4.5lbs but no really big ones until right before I had to leave, 9 hours in.

One piece of advice I can give based on what I was doing and what I saw other boats doing is this: If you aren't catching anything, change it up somehow. Try all depths from 5ft or more outside the weedline up to shore and everything in between. Switch from vertical presentations to horizontal and back. It seems like obvious advice, but it's often easier said than done. There have been many times I have just fished the weedline, did poorly and assumed they weren't biting. If I would have done that yesterday (like other boats did) I would have been skunked (like other boats were).

A couple bass my boy got while fishing at the beach this summer. He loves taking his pole with & soaking worms under a bobber. Usually we'll have about 30 kids taking turns, reeling in sunfish left & right. We usually get at least 1 of these each time out there. I love watching all the kids & moms freak out when he's bringing in a bass. Priceless!
