Went back to meydenbaur today, had a lot of bites on the zman trd ned rig. Just let it sit, then hopped it occasionally. Every cast I got a bite, but it was mostly small smallmouths. The fish are starting to come shallower with the little guys leading the pack. I got a couple 2lbers which was great fun on the eyecon ml. I highly recommend the st. croix eyecon for this style of fishing because it is so comfortable to deadstick with the large foregrip.

Went around Meydenbaur Bay with my inflatable kayak. The low wind in the bay made fishing on the kayak easy. Near the park where I launched it is very shallow with few fish. On the northern side I found sandy flats with some rocks and caught some smallmouth on the maxscent flatworm. Too bad they are out of stock everywhere. The tungsten really helped for me to feel the bottom, whether it was sand or rocks. In Meydenbaur bay, the best locations are the docks on the north side. The water gets VERY deep (50') not far from shore while the docks have shallow water, indicating a drop off. I fished along the drop off and got instant bites with the flatworm.

Went out today near the i-90 bridge, the wind was blowign 15mph. I caught 3 fish and had to call it quits when the rain came pouring in. Overall, the pink 6" worm got the best bites. I think the nasty conditions made the fish more aggressive towards bigger and brighter worms

Another great morning walking the waterfront. Was fishing gravel beaches, Boulders, under apartments, submerged grass. Getting no bites on top water or cranks, I switched to the trusty 5”senko. Got hit second cast. And then stuck with it, all the walk back. 6 fish total. Nothing big, all 15-17 inches. Wishing I had brought my UL set up. Mixed bag, 4 Smallies 2 large. I’m using a Lamiglas XP 703 S, and a Phlueger President. I’ve tagged a rod and reel I feel are comparable.

Couldn’t sleep, so took a cruise down to the beach, the water was glass so I pulled out the trunk poles. Threw a 5” senko and was getting bit, but couldn’t get a hook set, broke out the Whopper Plopper in loon/black. Caught this 19” Largemouth on the second cast. Method was Cast out as far/deep as possible, let rest 15-20, fast reel, pops, pause, burn 3-5 feet long pause, burn, pause. He hit it on the pause. You can here the splash as they suck it down. Reel down and set. Tight lines y’all !
