Took all the advice I got from here and went and fished a local pond on my kayak and caught my biggest bass! She was 21 inches long and 5 pounds. It was a good way to end my slump that I have been in. I slow cranked a blugill colored squarebill. Very appreciative of all the help and encouragement from these forums!!

Good to know! Thanks for the advice! I am trying not to get discouraged hah...will just keep watching videos and fish when work allows. Thanks for all the tips and encouragement!

First, I fish out of a kayak and I try my best to 'plan' out my trip before I go out. I looked at the lake with the contour lines and located a few drop offs that I was going to look for cover out deep. I am fishing out of Dallas Texas and the water temp was saying it was around 60 degrees. Everyone said they were deep so I tried to find cover deep but my cheap garmin FF doesn't really help me with that. The unexpected wind also made me fish closer to the bank. I used chatter baits, spinner baits, a worm texas rigged, and a lipless crankbait but I keep getting skunked. This is the 4th time I went out to get skunked. I can't even catch them in my neighborhood pond which stirred my passion for bass fishing. What do you guys do when you're in a fishing lull? I am not going to give up but I felt pretty drained after not catching anything today. I am still learning how to transition from a pond fisherman to a kayak fisherman too. I just finished nursing school so I plan on diving deep into the youtube videos again. Thanks in advance! Chad
