If you have been following my reports on this lake, today was similar to previous trips except it was a little more windy. Full sun to start my fishing around 9am. By 11ish a front moved in and brought clouds. This fired them up. My most success was pitching a Texas rigged Crush City Janitor worm at standing timber with my Denali Lithium Pro MH worm & jig rod.. Just let it fall to the bottom. Twitched a few times and brought it back if no bite. The bite was subtle. Caught about 15 fish with this method all between 0-2lbs. Then my last fish at 12:15pm was a chunk. 5.2lbs and gave me a great fight. I was able to catch a few smaller fish on a KVD chartreuse square bill thrown near some riprap at the west end of the lake. Nothing of note but any catch is fun in my book. This has been my best fishing year at Kill Creek. Been going there for 3-4 years. I am finally feeling confident I can put numbers in the kayak and occasionally catch a bigger one. I am guessing there is a 7-8 pounder in there somewhere.

Took home the Win at Keith Sebelius Lake! With the Bassman Spinnerbaits, target areas with flooded brush and timber. all my fish came out of no more than 2ft of water. cast as close as possible to cover even run through some to create reaction strikes. Areas that were exposed to wind created more successs as well.These spinnerbaits were locked in my hands on both days of the tourney and attributed to my win. Both the Spunk Shad and Swimon worked perfectly as trailers and allowed for the right presentation! Tightlines!

Slow and steady grind. Sunny skies and about 85 air temp. Caught best 5 for just over 18lbs. Fish came mostly skipping docks, but two of the larger keepers came on isolated shallow brush and stumps. All fish caught on a jig. Warning: be very careful launching at the boat ramp by the dam. The lake is extremely low right now and the boat ramp drops off and is almost out of the water.
