Was able to catch a few bass fishing stumps adjacent to the main river channel. Wind was blowing pretty hard which made it more challenging to fish from the kayak but the fish were there and biting.

Ended up finishing in 4th place in the first Bassmaster Elite Series event on the St. Johns River, and I fished all four days on Rodman Reservoir! I was fishing isolated cover in Rodman, from lily pads to stumps to standing timber on flats anywhere from 4 to 9 feet of water. The fish were moving up to spawn more and more everyday, I was targeting the fish in transition to there spawning grounds and picking them off when they would set up on the isolated cover. Catching them on reaction baits such as jerkbaits and then following it up with the wacky / neko rig to clean house.

Rolling spinnerbaits around and through lily pads. Consider this post spawn as I saw many empty and unused spawning beds. Fishing during windy days against the current definitely helped this bite
