[Alphahawk]

Thought long and hard before putting kayak in today. It was hot but I wanted to fish and play with the side imaging. Looked for some deep water Gills and found them but a little too breezy to stay on them. I have an anchor but it is too bulky and will try to get a 3 pound claw this weekend. I went back into the bay where I launched and decided to scan all the beds I have marked to see if fish had moved back onto them. Well most beds had no fish on them at all. Some of the beds had 3 and 4 fish on them. I would catch 2 or 3 and hit another one. I only caught 12 Gills today. There were in the 8 inch range but fought hard. Today was really satisfying as I had to work to find these fish and had to work to catch them. It is one thing to mark a bed with the GPS...pull up on it and catch a ton of fish if the bed is full of Gills. But when there are just a few that GPS can't put you on top of one fish....you can get close though. So I would fan cast around my Lindy bouy and pick up as many as I could before moving on. If I had seen only 4 fish on a bed when I caught 3 I would move on. It worked out pretty good. I only fished about 3 hours...just too hot and my juice was running low. Cant wait to get out again.
