Just wrapped up a top 10 finish for the All-American Kayak Series on the IGL's. The fish are just sliding up for the spawn. Caught all my big fish burning a lipless crankbait and a chatterbait in 2-4 FOW through isolated grass clumps. Using a ripping motion throughout the retrieve was key to elicit strong reaction bites. The bite is hot/heavy early morning with fish schooling on points near the spawning flats. There were also multiple fish I saw floating that had died from eating 5-6" bluegills.

Pitching under docks with a flipping jig.Specifically docks with wooden post in 4-6 feet of seemed hold the most fish.Also got a couple on a covert spinnerbait and a buzzbait.

For some reason the lake was being very stingy to me on a hot early fall day. Decided to skip a wacky rig around some docks in Minney and plunked off a couple good bites including a 5 1/2. Wacky rig is a good way to get some bites and not just small ones too.
