Friday was a great day to be in the water.  I launched the kayak down in hawker pointe and paddles down around the campgrounds and watched the bald eagles for a bit.  I ended up catching 2 white bass, a small crappie, and a nice 18” largemouth.  The white bass didn’t want anything to do with anything but my small curly tail grubs, and the largemouth went for my flickering shad at sunset.  Water temps ranged from 35 to 49 but my fish finder wasn’t acting right for a bit.  The bass were caught in 3-5’ of water.  White bass were feeding on shad

Looks like the water would make the kayak very cold ?

Not at all.  I have a sit in so I’m not completely exposed to the wind.  I also dress in layers and take breaks outside the kayak every few hours.  If my feet get wet then they get cold otherwise it’s very enjoyable being in a kayak.
