I began my day in the marsh area of West Harbor around 2:30pm. There was around a 15mph SW wind which wasn't bad and the area I was in was protected. I discovered the water to be dingy and shallow. This part of WH doesn't typically get very deep but it was about a 1-2 feet low and I struggled to find anything over 3 ft. After about an hour I loaded up my kayak and headed over to East Harbor. I had a mixed day throwing the chatterbaits. I did try an 1/4 oz Booyah One Knocker in Tiger Craw but ended up loosing it on a snag. I let the wind drift me across the harbor and ended up getting most of my bites along the bank that the wind was blowing on. Along with a numb er of 14.5 inch bass I managed a big Drum and a 22 inch Bowfin. Not the day I was looking for overall but not bad either

The key was find the bait, with rip rap and grass. Then running the bait parallel with the bank.

Afternoon and evening of fishing out of the Kayak on West Harbor in Port Clinton OH. I fished the swamp area of West Harbor. The bite was a bit slow to start. I did manage a few 15inch plus largemouth using the various techniques listed. I also caught one using the Core Tackle Swim Jig 3/8 oz in Guilty Pleasure with a Strike King Rage Menace Grub in Bluegill. The majority of the fish were caught in under 2 feet of water. whacky rigging a Missile Baits The 48 Stick Worm in Green Pumpkin and a Z-Man ZinkerZ in Mudbug.
