Checkers and Bars - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

skrilla · 01-21-2013, 08:52 PM

With a weather pattern like this how could one not be out on the water. Got to tangle with some local game fish this weekend. Not wide open but steady action on quality bass for a few hours. Only 2 were shorts with the biggest taping out a 19". 4-5 inch swimbaits slathered in butter was the ticket.

Some pics that actually turned out decent. Thanks for looking.

They were hitting dark colors too. A lot of em on the drop. When theyre that hungry dont think it matters what color you throw at em.
