Hello, I'm just learning bass fishing from a kayak. I'm from Ellicott City MD. We have a tandem Ocean Kayaks Malibu 2XL that my wife and I paddle. I'm using a Shimano Symetre 3000 spinning reel mounted on a 7'1" Shimano Compre fast medium rod. Don't have a fish finder yet. In my area in the past month, we've fished Rocky Gorge Reservoir and Centennial Lake. Have only hooked two bass, a small one which was released and a large keeper that got off at the side of the kayak. That's it for me. Richard
