Back in the Kayak

Back in the kayak and catching!

 I took the kayak out in 'Gansett Bay several times in the last week. I was mostly fishing skinny backwaters and taking a finesse approach when doing it. While I did better than I have been doing from shore, it was still mediocre fishing compared to past years.  I put 7 fish in the yak, but none were slots or overs.

All my fish were taken on a weightless 5 3/4 inch Fin S fish twitched on top with a stop every once in a while. As I have written many time before,  most of my hits came on the stop. Another interesting phenomenon I encountered was a lot of spooked fish.  I would peddle along and I'd scare one fish after another in spots.  They seemed to be near the surface just doing nothing. On one outing, I must have spooked close to a hundred fish, but only caught one that evening. So, there are fish around, but just not feeding at times.

One other note- I saw just about no bait in the multiple locations I fished.  The one time I did see a small pod of bait, fish were breaking on them, and I nailed five of them in short order.
