Got my kayak on the river last thursday for a quick morning trip. River was way down and the stretch I was on was wadeable pretty much anywhere. Totaled 15 smallies, 1 largemouth, 1 drum, and 1 foul hooked carp. Nothing of any decent size. Caught most of the fish on twister/ 1/16 oz jig combo. Green pumpkin was the most productive color by far. The smallies seemed to be stacking up in more predictable spots with the river level down a bit. Best spots were dropoffs in moderately fast water. I see now the river is back up to where it was before it came down a bunch..we'll see what that does to the fishing...

I actually don't fish from my kayak much. I much prefer to wade. The yak is mostly a means of transportation for me. Alot of the time I'll clip the yak to my wading belt with a lenth of shock cord.
