Kaw lake was not kind to me.
Got there this morning about 7am. Ended up leaving way early. While stepping from boat to dock, after unloading, I slipped on the boards and did the splits that would have made Jean Claude VanDamn proud. On foot on the dock one foot fell down into the boat so as expted my cahonas came down on the edge of the dock. That was painful but only miniscule compared to the pulled muscle in my groin.
I toughed it out though and sojurned on. Found the shad in about 10 minutes. About 10 feet down between those Towers. First throw I pulled two early and got about 30 two inchers. Kept some, in a hurry, cause the finder showed big ones under me. Threw again and when I pulled the swivel on the horn broke off and my net sunk to the bottom.
So I found what I thought might be a good spot for my newly built perch trap. This is only the second time using it. Baited and put it out and went fishing elsewhere with my 15 or so baby shad. They were worthless, something kept sucking them off the hook and leaving the heads only. Switched over to stink bait and caught one channel about 6 inches long and one blue at most a pound.
Went back about 3 to check the trap, it had been in the water for about 8 hours now. It was full of these black mushy spikey things. Now idea what they were and about three dozen 3-5 inch crappies. The first time I used it last weekend all I caught was baby crappie too.
In pain still. No bait. I'm done and went home. Maybe next time Kaw.
