Fished Saturday late afternoon from the kayak at Holmes, super hot day and the water is up. Tried to work the shoreline targeting grass/bush, lily pads, and some rocky/rip rap points. Got a grand total of zero bites on swim jig, small bladed swim bait, and flipping jig. Talked another guy at the ramp, Neko rig was the only thing that really worked for him at that time.
