What would you throw?

[ThatFishingGuy]

So I'm thinking of going to this state park and renting a kayak some time this week to try and get on some fish. This is in the mid-Atlantic (Delaware, to be specific) where we've had a lot of rain recently and temps in the 80-90s, though significantly cooler lately especially at night. I'll likely be going around mid-morning (9-12ish). What places would you target? What kind of baits would you throw? 

 

Besides the docks that are shown on the map, I know the southern portion of the lake (near where it says "fishing pier" in 4-6ft of water) has some standing timber, and there are spots with reeds along the banks but besides that I'm not all that familiar with what kind of structure there is.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

I would start out with a buzzbait as early as you can and hit the grass beds on your way out from the launch.  Once the sun starts to really hit, I'd give a super fluke nose-rigged or weightless on an EWG hook to mimic baitfish.  The weightless on an EWG is great to throw into cover in shallower water like that.  I'm used to fishing the Potomac in my kayak and there's a sizeable area I like that runs around those depth.  Definitely a spinnerbait in the deepest areas depending on what structure you find.  When it's that shallow, I usually don't use crankbaits because I get them snagged.  That could definitely just be my lack of skill with them, but the above options seem to work well in enticing a bite or attracting attention to an area when I hit a new place like that.  Hope it helps!

I like the bottom section of the middle.    It looks like it drops off quicker than the other areas there.  With what I see to be like 9 feet for the max depths, they'll definitely come up from deeper to hit top water lures when its early and lures ran a few feet down like a super fluke.
