Fished from my kayak for 4 days and tried 4 different locations. The first day I tried Ha Ha Tonka. The water was in the mid to upper 50's but was very muddy and had a lot of debris floating in it. Zero bites that day. The second day I launched at the LOZ State Park. The water was pretty much the same here. Saw temps reach 60 where the sun hit the bluff walls. Still zero bites. The 3rd day was the start of my tournament. Headed north to find clear water. Fished a bay off of the main lake and managed to finally find some bass. Caught a few off of the wiggle wart and chatterbait along rocky shorelines. The 2nd day of the tourney I launched at Coffman and caught a couple on the wiggle wart again. Water temps in the clear water were around 51 degrees both days. I tried a heavier spinning setup using Mastiff 16lbs FC. I was throwing a small swimbait with it and had some bites. Didn't get enough experience with it yet but did notice the line is strong. Was able to pull my swimbait out of a snag by bending the hook. Overall, the fishing and conditions were very tough. Only managed to catch 5 keepers over 4 days of fishing in multiple parts of the lake.
