Super cool you made it all the way up here man. Definitely tough bite but was fun catching up!! Hopefully bite will be better for the next one!

This is one of my home lakes. sometimes it can tough. couple tips for next time. work the drop shot slower and try a watermelon red flake bait. My secret bait there is a 4in paddletail, I use it as a search bait and sometimes it is the only bait I need.PB&J Football head jig and a glide bait for the big bites

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

I am pretty sure the guy that won used a 4 inch paddle or grub of some sort. Thanks for the tip. It's hard to slow down sometimes. I will keep that in mind. Look forward to my next trip that way

I was curious since that is pretty far North. Water looked beautiful, bummer that there weren't more biters.

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

A few guys did get limits. I would have liked to have had another day to see if i could figure them out.

[@AddictedAngler]

When temps drop it’s the hardest

[@rileytreptow4640]

Hey man, it was a pretty tough day, but at least you didn't skunk out.

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

You got a good one 👍

[@pdxfisher1]

Looks like it was a pretty tough day. You definitely put in the work though. What was the water temp?

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

Low to mid 50s

[@martinharris859]

Wow! Was there only 1 launch spot allowed?

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

Yep. Big enough

[@chadkelley8296]

I'm not being mean or negative but maybe move your mic so that it's not picking up the breathing sounds

[@tmkayakfishing8236]

I have tried. Lol. I need an oxygen tank. Still trying to figure that out

[@chadkelley8296]

@@tmkayakfishing8236 I completely understand that I'm a lil heavy on the front side myself. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
