After my son got off work last Friday morning we took our kayaks down to Lake Lee in Monroe, NC to see if we might get into a mess of fish. It was the first time for me back in the kayak since my deer stand fall in Oct of 14 so it was pretty much a test run for me to see how my artificial shoulder and new muscles would work without the rotator cuff tendons or muscle structure. We put in a late around 10 AM so top water was probably not going to be good. My son caught a keeper bass right off using a green plastic worm rigged "whacky". I fished an assortment of deep runner top water plugs and traditional purple and black worms but I never got a bite.
We ran into one of my son's and wife's cousins who is a master fisherman by all regards and he donated two nice keepers to our cause. Thanks Harold! But, we got to paddle around for 4-5 hours before we gave up and headed home. Weather providing, we plan to kayak fish again this weekend.
