Bass in a Yak!!!

Featured Replies

I launched about 6:45 at Lake in Palm Beach County:

The sun was out and the water was moving with a slight wind. I began to immediately paddle toward a spot I had fished before to work the lily pads, but weed growth prevented me form throwing anything effective. >:(

I began to throw a Spro Mad Maxx frog. The action on this frog was so good, I almost jumped out of my yak to hit it. Other than that nothing! So I parked my yak rear first on a patch of growth and began to throw into the deeper water (18 feet) to work the lip-less crank toward me in order to work it up a bank I noticed on my FF. This guy hit hard in about 6 feet:

After that one, I lost 2 more at the boat. A short while later, I relocated to a clear area with a nice point off of a bed of weeds:

As I worked the bait from the weeds out into the deeper water, I thought I was hung up...until a head shake on the surface. It was not much of a hit, but it was a decent fight. I then landed this one:

Just a hair over 20":

All in all, 2 caught, 3 lost, but a fun day none the less!

Cool spot, looks like you were near Florida Mango and Forest Hill  ;)!  Nice catch on the Yak too!  Also, are you sure you weren't using a Tru Tungsten Madd Maxx or was it the Spro Bronzeye Frog?

Are you having luck in the Suds early in the A.M. or late in the evening now?

All my fishing is done early morning, 4-9 am, late afternoon bite may be better but I never get out then.

That spot is Boynton.

Nice measuring trough. What kind is it? I've been looking for one for my Kayak.

Awesome!! Where do you fish in PBC?

Lake Ida! I have only been there twice...Nothing on the first trip though. The second time was obviously better...but the weed growth there is incredible.
