Received an invitation to a kayak only private tournament for PowerTeam Lures a short while back. Tough conditions:
22 acre lake
Average depth 4-5' with deepest part of 8-9'
Kayaks only
No electronics allowed (I had mine installed but not plugged in)
Provided lures
2 rods (1 casting, 1 spinning)
3 fish limit
Catch Photo Release
Post cold front
Full moon cycle
I knew the bite would be tough, of the anglers invited only three caught a limit. First place was a total of 48", Second place was 38", Third place was 36". I came in fourth with a length of 30" but that was with only 2 fish with the one below being the best at 17 3/4". Got him on a PTL Hammershad slow rolled. The other came on a 7" PTL Finicky Tickler on a shakey head. I knew the day would be tough, but I know if could have dialed the bite in sooner I could have won it easily. Oh well. Still a great day on the water.
