Got to splash my kayak and spend a couple of hours fishing for the first time this year.   Even caught 6 largemouths, and I lost what would have been my biggest fish of the night.  Lol….but that is how it goes.  Great to feel the tug on my line again, and know that we are just starting fishing season.

My two fish were caught on a 5″ curly tail grub.  I’m partial to Kalins, but I doubt the brand really matters….more superstition on my part.  🙂  My step-son caught his four (yes, he out-fished me) on Senkos.  The bass I lost I had hooked on a beaver tail, weightless on a 3/0 EWG hook.  All fish were caught on or near shore, in 10 feet of water or less.

Also saw a pair of large snapping turtles mating in very shallow water….Lol….I assume they were mating.  Took several minutes to figure out what the heck we were looking at.  I didn’t get close enough for a picture…last thing I want is to piss off a pair of snapping turtles by interrupting their courtship.
