The bay was fine. The lake was rough. It's supposed to be calm tomorrow. (Friday)

Fished the west side docks this morning. Got three keepers. The big one was my best for the season, 19.5inches, 4lbs.

Hit the bay for a couple hours before the rain came in. 6:30 to 9:30. Fished the docks on the west side with s 5" worm. Picked up 2 keepers about 16".

Bow mount. As far forward as you can get it and still work with the lines. As mentioned in the previous post the board tow line will hit your rods in turns the further towards the back the mast is mounted. Also mount the mast as high as you can for a couple reasons, 1 the release slids out quicker. 2 the tow line will stay clear of the waves better in rough water.

Good going, nice fish, what did he hit?

You can launch your kayak at the north end of the bay for free. From there you can fish around the docks at Mayers and the rest of the north east corner. Try a texas rigged 4 to 7 inch black or blue plastic worm. If you don't know how to texes rig just google it. Fish the bait as close to the docks as you can. Use at least 10lb test line. Good luck!
