Kayak Bassin!!!
After watching Chad LaChance slaying the bass on Fishful Thinker television Saturday morning, my 13 yr old son Kevin and loaded the kayak on the top of the FJ Cruiser, rigged our rods, mine with a bullfrog colored torpedo and a shad colored Skitterpop and Kevin's with a chartruese colored wake bait (just like Chad was using on the show) and a buzzbait! We set our alarms for 3:45 am and were on our way by 4:00 am, we made it to the Northern Ft Riley bass pond by 5:00 am. Kevin caught a nice largemouth before I even had a chance to get the kayak off the FJ ( his second cast)!
I threw a combination of the 2 topwater baits and ended up with 31 blow-ups and 19 bass between 1 and 4 pounds landed! I then switched to my 5wt Sage flyrod with a #6 Booglebug hoping for some of the big bluegill I observed feeding on the surface, caught 2 nice bluegill and had 10 more big blow-ups, landing 7 more lmb's!!!
Kevin had tangled his lure and went to sleep in the FJ, so he only managed the single lmb...
Sorry no pics, the action was too fast and furious!!!
