Had a recent kayak tournament out there with Minnyak Kayak club. Fishing was great on independence. Water was pea soupy but cleared up later on in the day as the winds pushed all the green stuff to the north end. Dropshot caught a majority of my fish. Targeting weed edges and hard bottom transitions. Key was literally leaving the drop shot deadstick. Saw on the scope they were interested but if you jigged too hard they’ll scatter. So I knew to slow way down. Also caught a few slow dragging jigs and occasionally hopping them. A classic Texas rig also caught a few keepers targeting topped out weed clumps in 5-8fow. Have fun!

Dropped in the lake after the heaviest rains came through. Fished through a small drizzle for the evening. Key to this lake, bluegill! They are everywhere, and the bass love them. Everything I threw today was imitating gills in some way. The terminator walking frog is a must have for any frog angler. And the bluegill color is my most successful. Threw the frog over the heavier cover and worked the edges with the choppo and a buzzbait. Flipped a few reeds while moving around also. Independence can be a tough lake to find quality bites. Lots of boat traffic but if you can get out in the right conditions and areas you will enjoy this lake!
