Managed to get out in my kayak this morning - had to be off the water by noon so I was hoping for a productive morning.
It was an eventful morning. Launched around sun up - but couldn’t really tell as it was rediculously foggy/hazy - I thought it would clear off pretty quick, but it took a very long time to do so. Hugged shore until it did clear off - pic below at 8:20am in full sun.
Wished I had a go pro for this morning might have caught some fun times.
Fish seemed to be very aggressive this morning. Right after launching I managed to catch 4 smallies on a whopper plopper - so much fun watching them explode on the plopper. Up until about 10 am the fish were hammering pretty much everything I was throwing. Mostly smallies, with a few largies thrown in.
Had a funny (to me) moment later in the morning. Hooked into a smallie and fought it for a few minutes and it came up to jump, launched itself straight up and landed right at my feet in the kayak. Surprised both of us.
Went 1 for 2 on muskie - the one that got away was the better fish - high 30s and thick. It still managed launch into two acrobatic flips right in front of my kayak, but came off shortly after. The second was low 30s. Unfortunately, when I got it to my net it decided to spin a few times and I had to cut my line and untangle it. Fish swam away strong, but no pics.
