Super User buzzed bait Posted April 11, 2016 Super User Posted April 11, 2016 Even though the wind absolutely sucked, i still got out for a little bit on Saturday and Sunday. Of course when the wife was gone all weekend and i had the green light to fish sun up to sun down, mother nature had other plans. I'll fish in just about any conditions except for brutal wind because in the kayak it just sucks. That said, i hit the pond not far from the house on Saturday and found the place to be pretty poor in terms of the water. It already gets over fished and no management, but now the water is so low i'm surprised to see any fish. so i hit the drainage pool on the backside that doesn't seem to get fished. Hooked up with 1 little bity guy that put up zero fight once hooked and came straight to the bank. That was all the action i had at the pond. Yesterday i hit the road early and got on the lake right at sun up. Wanted to get out there before the wind started howling again. It was cold, 37 degrees but water temps were about 57 when i put in. I paddled over to the other side of the channel from the ramp and hit the first few docks i could see and about the 5th dock i ran the spinnerbait right by the posts and nearly had the rod pulled out of my hands! one nice sweeping hookset on it and she was pinned. this beauty had ZERO intentions of coming in the kayak though. the fight was as good as any i've had in quite some time. i'd get her just close enough to lip and then she'd have the rod nearly in the water taking another run on me. she even head butted the kayak one good time in an effort to shake the bait, but i finally managed to bring her in. 4lb2oz on the digitals, but felt like it was a DD all the way til i got her in! couldn't believe the fight in this one! ended up being the only fish i caught as the wind started to make life miserable yet again, but man was it worth it! like i said, 2 polar opposites!! skinny guy, no fight: prize fighting heavyweight champ (look at that tail too!): 9 Quote
