Keeper from the Kayak


I landed my first keeper of the year from the kayak last night while fishing in the Upper Bay. The fish hit a six inch pink Hogy fished on top. That pink Hogy worked well for me in the daylight hours in the past and was very hot last year at this time. The fish was a skinny, 30 inch bass.

I am now getting reports of keeper bass all over the place. They are in the usual hotspots all over the Bay and all over the oceanfront as well as the coastal ponds. There seems to be a lot of small keepers in the 28-32 inch range. At this point there are not an abundance of large fish over 20 lbs., but I suspect they are coming soon.
