I got out today in my Old Town Sportsman 10-6 PDL kayak. The action has been marginal at best along the oceanfront this week with a lot of weed and unfavorable winds. So, I decided to try the Bay. My son, Jon, had a big day yesterday with 14 bass (6 of them slots), so I kind of got tipped off as to where they were.
It took me no more than 15 minutes and I had a slot fish (over? maybe). I landed a few more smaller ones and had a lot of hits. They were fussy in the calm water I was fishing tonight, but there were good numbers of fish around. I even managed to spook quite a few fished as I pedaled along.
The hot lure was an unweighted super Zoom fluke threaded onto a swimbait hook. I like the white ones with a chartreuse tail. This lure can be trolled or casted and twitched ashore.
