Was definitely a struggle today fishing a kayak tournament , was scoping with Mega live 2, found a small pocket of a main lake channel swing. Saw a school of fish in submerged vegetation. I was using a Phenix M1 7’4 medium extra fast .

Steelshad Blade bait was $$$$$! Cast and let bait get to bottom. Lift rod about 2-3 feet feeling vibrations. Let bait flutter back to bottom reeling in slack once on bottom. Pause 2-3 seconds…repeat. Fish today tapped bait while paused. Tap tap Set The Hook!
