Kayak Trip Report, Garth Slough and Suzie Hole
I fished Garth and Suzie Hole Saturday from 8AM till around 6PM. The water is about 18 inches down from full pool and was 57 degrees, warming to 61 by the time I left. Visibility of about 10 to 12 inches and a little clearer in Suzie. I spent the day spider rigging on submerged stumps in 3 to 4 feet of water. I kept 11 smaller Crappie and retuned around 20 larger slabs. Started with 1" sliders then Bobby Garland Tuxedo Shimmer. Mid-day returned to my favorite White Marabou. Fish were scattered with 20 or 30 minutes between fish, but there's some huge females in the area in the 14 to 15 inched range. Largest was the below Black that was around 16 inches, and 3 inches think that I returned.

Got to ask,what’s that on your legs?No matter what I get mine wet and been looking for something besides waders to keep them dry on cool days.

I'm just wearing blue jeans, I have a small hand towel over my right leg for drying my hands (or wiping slime from catfish). The issue of staying dry is the reason I fish a sit-in-side kayak vs a sit-on-top. They also paddle easier and your less effected by the wind. It also helps force you to down size the number of rods and tackle. You only bring what works and spend more time lessening to what the fish want instead of changing baits or moving to a new spot, LOL!

Slabprowler,
I'll fish 12 to 14 hours in the summer. I've been doing it a long time, a good cushion and a seat with good back support helps. I think the cramped space and keeping your legs straight just comes from so many years of repetition.

After looking closer I thought it was a towel. LolOriginally Posted by Ditch Basser

Nice looking slab DB. No worn fins or sins of spawning yet. They look healthy, hopefully a good spawn this year.

I'm surprised I haven't found big numbers or the typical dark indigo of spawning fish yet?
Mid April is a full moon, should be about right if we can get a week or 10 days of warm weather without the bottom falling out.

caught this one on my second cast last Friday. I got all excited. Only caught one more later on and a few scattered shorts. I just don’t do good this time of year. Didn’t do good last spring but started catching them later on. I just can’t figure this spawn thing everybody loves out. Lol
