Afternoon and evening of fishing out of the Kayak on West Harbor in Port Clinton OH. I fished the swamp area of West Harbor. The bite was a bit slow to start. I did manage a few 15inch plus largemouth using the various techniques listed. I also caught one using the Core Tackle Swim Jig 3/8 oz in Guilty Pleasure with a Strike King Rage Menace Grub in Bluegill. The majority of the fish were caught in under 2 feet of water. whacky rigging a Missile Baits The 48 Stick Worm in Green Pumpkin and a Z-Man ZinkerZ in Mudbug.

I began my day in the marsh area of West Harbor around 2:30pm. There was around a 15mph SW wind which wasn't bad and the area I was in was protected. I discovered the water to be dingy and shallow. This part of WH doesn't typically get very deep but it was about a 1-2 feet low and I struggled to find anything over 3 ft. After about an hour I loaded up my kayak and headed over to East Harbor. I had a mixed day throwing the chatterbaits. I did try an 1/4 oz Booyah One Knocker in Tiger Craw but ended up loosing it on a snag. I let the wind drift me across the harbor and ended up getting most of my bites along the bank that the wind was blowing on. Along with a numb er of 14.5 inch bass I managed a big Drum and a 22 inch Bowfin. Not the day I was looking for overall but not bad either
