That’s the next upgrade. ?

Not too deep. Just pass the grass line. About 30 feet from shore. I could just see barely see the top of the grass under the water.

Valid points. Just enjoy the ride. ? Good point about the anchor rope. Would be another issue to fight the fish away from the snag point.

So I got an 8ft sit in kayak to fish around the local lakes. Everytime I catch a lunker the bass is dragging me into trees and brushes. question is should I anchor so I’m not dragged around until I land the fish? I haven’t lost a fish to back paddling with my free hand but there’s a lot going on. Haha. Got to be a better way.

Are the hooks bent when the fish gets off?

Good inputs. Thanks!! Forgot about the spinner bait. I’ll have to give that a try.

So now that its full fledge summer, the lakes around my area is matted down with grass/weeds. As I look into the water, it covers the entire floor. It grows up to about 6 inches before the water surface. The surface has some of this grass floating about as well. I've tried weightless worms and frogs, but doesn't seem to work. I prefer crankbaits, but and lure with treble hooks always pull up a ton of this grass. Any tips to get on the bass would be great.
