    I made a short trip to Madison County Lake today fishing from daylight until lunch. The fish were scattered on bait fish schools 6 to 8 feet deep. I spider rigged 5 poles with 1" sliders on 1/16oz jig heads keeping 14 and returning 6 larger fish. The water was 85 degrees and still cloudy with visibility of about 12 to 18 inches. Started slow with the fish shutting down completely around 10:30. Still a beautiful day to be on the water. I meet alexava and his son on the water, alexava hook what ended up being a huge grass carp that drug him a 1/4 way across the lake for 20 minutes. Fun to catch the fight on 4 pound test line, LOL.

      that's how you have a great day! releasing those bigger fish while keeping perfect size for fileting is how you do it. GFY

      I'm just getting into kayaking. Always chased crappie out of a jon boat before. What kind of kayak are you in?
