2/5/12 report:
Launched our kayaks at cedar hill marina around 7:30 am. I started at a clay bank with vegetation in 16-21 fow. Threw a swimbait to no avail, but a shiner I was freelining got nailed. I set the hook and the fish hit the afterburners. Never saw it, but by the way it peeled off line, I knew it was a good fish.
Switched to bluffs an hour later. I was using shiners with a light steel split-shot about 18" up the line. I was in 45 fow and casting tight to the bluff, then letting the shiner do its' thing. I landed 3, and missed 1. My best fish was over 5 lbs. I used 10 lb test berkley vanish fluoro and sz 2 owner Mutu light circle hooks. The fished I missed was my fault, I pulled the shiner away from it. Not a bad day, and my 'yak-fishing partners had 3 more fish to add to the total.
