First Of Many (hopefully)
Baseball season ended Saturday (unfortunately) but I got to sneak in about an hour and a half at Dudley Pond before the sun set. I have been out a few times in the new kayak (Ride 115), and I wanted to really get comfortable standing up and fishing, so I spent the majority of the time doing just that. Got a large yellow perch on a square bill crank before the wind picked up. Decided to head to an area somewhat protected from the wind (didn't really want to take a swim...) and started throwing a jig in 6-8' of water around some submerged logs. Although not huge, caught my first bass standing up in the kayak - 1.4 lbs. It definitely takes some getting used to standing up and casting/setting the hook all while maintaining your balance, but the boat is extremely stable and I'm looking forward to many more Larry's this season from this position!
