Fishing the creek mouths/drains of the rappahanock on an outgoing tide. The KVD 1.5 in Sexy Shad color performed better then a few other lures I threw today.

Took my Old Town Sportsman 120PDL kayak in the Rappahannock river. I had an incoming tide and even though the outgoing tide produces better, I still managed to catch a couple. I was fishing a weightless wacky rigged yum dinger (June bug).

Water level was up after the recent storm surge and the top water bite was on all morning. I was focusing on submerged Hydrilla. The skitter walk and Canterbury buzz toads were the top performers on the day
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationTook the kayak back down to the Rappahannock this morning and found an area of submerged Hydrilla. We caught them on Poppers and buzz toads before the sun got too high. After that I switched to wacky worms and a buddy of mine was throwing a drop shot. I caught a few more on the wacky rig, but he flat out smoked them on the drop shot.
