2nd and 3rd tourneys of the year for Colorado Kayak Bassmasters. 1st day was rough - 1 smallie caught on a neko rig right up against the shore. Day two went a lot better. Most fish landed (and all the largies) were right up against stumps sitting right on shore with a lot of offshoot branches. Usually bit within a handle crank or two. Some of the smallies were sitting in about 6' of water along similar shoreline cover or on isolated weed/grass patches. Was a very aggressive bite. Fishing from 6' out to the middle of the cove caught some walleye. Also, ended up with about a 28" catfish right up against the bank along some floating wood.

Target rock transitions or isolated flooded brush and SLOWLY drag and shake. The fish were very weary. Rigging a ned plastic like a Neko worked best for not getting hung up or stuck.
