First Of Many (hopefully)
Baseball season ended Saturday (unfortunately) but I got to sneak in about an hour and a half at Dudley Pond before the sun set. I have been out a few times in the new kayak (Ride 115), and I wanted to really get comfortable standing up and fishing, so I spent the majority of the time doing just that. Got a large yellow perch on a square bill crank before the wind picked up. Decided to head to an area somewhat protected from the wind (didn't really want to take a swim...) and started throwing a jig in 6-8' of water around some submerged logs. Although not huge, caught my first bass standing up in the kayak - 1.4 lbs. It definitely takes some getting used to standing up and casting/setting the hook all while maintaining your balance, but the boat is extremely stable and I'm looking forward to many more Larry's this season from this position!
Was there Sunday and caught almost all pickerel. Couldnt believe how clear it was there.
