Pike, I like.
Trout will make you shout.
Salmon are slammin’.
But BASS, are a kick in the –
I decided to take a break from the trolling in Lake Ontario for trout and salmon due to unpredictable weather and to catch up on some of the bass fishing that I missed earlier in the season. I had a fun time fishing two very different bodies of water. First was a wetland/pond complex and fished topwater – Spro frog and caught a number of bass in the slop. I also caught an evening bite at a beautiful Finger Lake fishing tubes in deeper water on the bottom – 30 ft – off of points and coves with great success. Here are some of the highlights of both trips.
I capped the evening off with this nice smallmouth. It was a neat experience fishing two completely different bodies of water on back-to-back trips, one eutrophic and the other oligotrophic to mesotrophic, and which required drastically different approaches to catch fish.
There's a distinct data point that connects these pictures….. 4 eyes…. Did You hit both these spots today?
Yes, and I washed/cleaned my kayak in between. :)
Very impressive! I liked all your posts. Thanks. One important concern: I hope you will wear PFD while paddling. Or at least, wear it when you take a picture. I worry that beginners get wrong idea about PFD and kayak safety from your site. Stay safe and keep fishing!

Thanks for the comment, Sung. I agree 100%. I wear mine at ALL times when in the kayak. Paul tends to feel he floats.
To me, the PFD is the single most important piece of equipment I own.
As a new kayaker, I am really encouraged. I was amazed at the fishing that is possible from a kayak, and nothing else.
