The low wind in the bay made fishing on the kayak easy. Near the park where I launched it is very shallow with few fish. On the northern side I found sandy flats with some rocks and caught some smallmouth on the maxscent flatworm. Too bad they are out of stock everywhere. The tungsten really helped for me to feel the bottom, whether it was sand or rocks. In Meydenbaur bay, the best locations are the docks on the north side. The water gets VERY deep (50') not far from shore while the docks have shallow water, indicating a drop off. I fished along the drop off and got instant bites with the flatworm.

Went back to meydenbaur today, had a lot of bites on the zman trd ned rig. Just let it sit, then hopped it occasionally. Every cast I got a bite, but it was mostly small smallmouths. The fish are starting to come shallower with the little guys leading the pack. I got a couple 2lbers which was great fun on the eyecon ml. I highly recommend the st. croix eyecon for this style of fishing because it is so comfortable to deadstick with the large foregrip.

I had a number of fish on this new to me lure. It definitely helps me weed out unwanted species. Bass only so far on this lure. I like that. Coho salmon are in groups about 1/4 mile off Kirkland water front. Season supposed to open on that next week. My freezer already is full of them though. Several smallmouth and largemouth on the money badger too

Bass are usually found on the outside of weed lines from this time of year until late fall in this lake. This day was no exception and I fished with a crankbait all day , typically from 15-20 feet deep with my line about 10-15 feet down. This one was caught in front of Kirkland but several more near Hunts Point

Another great morning walking the waterfront. Was fishing gravel beaches, Boulders, under apartments, submerged grass. Getting no bites on top water or cranks, I switched to the trusty 5”senko. Got hit second cast. And then stuck with it, all the walk back. 6 fish total. Nothing big, all 15-17 inches. Wishing I had brought my UL set up. Mixed bag, 4 Smallies 2 large. I’m using a Lamiglas XP 703 S, and a Phlueger President. I’ve tagged a rod and reel I feel are comparable.
