This lake is so well maintained and the property owner should be proud. Nice boat ramp and really easy for my kayak. Cold and windy in the morning and I tried everything...and only one nice 4 pounder on a dead stick zoom fluke. I took a break for lunch and had only that one fish. Frustrated I calmed down and I walked around for a few minutes. I saw a ton of dead minnows/shad (I don't know which) up in the shallow. See pic. Not sure if anyone likes these dudes but I watch Tactical bassin with Matt and Tim and they are always preaching the A rig in winter. So why not?!? OMG, I crushed it the next four hours with 14 fish, all big, fat and hard fighting size. Several at 5-6 and a few over 3 and then a big momma that was between 8-9. I didn't have a digital scale so was using my BOGO grip, trying to take a picture, hold the fish and keep the kayak straight. See pics. Once I downsized the flukes on the A rig, the fish were thumping it and I had a blast. The thing about that rig is you gotta throw it with a broomstick almost because it's so heavy but I needed the rod backbone to land those fish.
I feel ill-suited to tell others where to go but I would position the kayak near the grass line and cast away to deeper water and they were definitely coming up to crush that A rig. All the fish were on the far side and I tried to put a picture for y'all.
thank you so much double A and PWF for a Great Lake.
