Just wrapped up a top 10 finish for the All-American Kayak Series on the IGL's. The fish are just sliding up for the spawn. Caught all my big fish burning a lipless crankbait and a chatterbait in 2-4 FOW through isolated grass clumps. Using a ripping motion throughout the retrieve was key to elicit strong reaction bites. The bite is hot/heavy early morning with fish schooling on points near the spawning flats. There were also multiple fish I saw floating that had died from eating 5-6" bluegills.

Crank lay downs with red and/or natural baitfish colored flat sided crankbaits, also run the same crankbaits over existing weeds to get bit.

Managed to find some decent fish around the Iowa Great Lakes while practicing for the IKFC Championship. Fishing the grass between the stretches of removed docks consistently found fish. Unfortunately, this bite didn't hold up for tournament day.
