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.

With water temperatures rising to 67°-74° to the afternoon the fish were aggressive early hitting Chatter baits and slowed down after the sun got high. Target laydowns with Berkley worms or your favorite soft plastic and have some fun.
