James is fishing good.

My buddy just bought a kayak and wanted to do a little after work float. We put in at a bridge and took out at another bridge. That's the stretch I would recommend. But since it was 4pm before we left Springfield it was a short float. First fish was a healthy 14 inch beauty on a PBJ ned. A few minutes later out in the bright sun and horrible heat I had a really nice fish take a spook. I thought I had a solid hookup and she was staying down mostly and then it just came undone. What I saw of it looked like a really nice green fish. 

We didn't catch anything bigger than 14.5 maybe. But we caught a lot of fish. You could pretty much catch a fish anywhere you wanted to throw a ned. I kept after another spook fish but other than a couple of dinks it never produced.

Left the big kid camera at home but here are a couple of cell phone snaps.

Looks like a great trip. Thanks for the report!

Thx!   That’s a pretty big cooler for a “short” float😁

Well a 12 pack and a sandwich wouldn’t fit in the smaller one. I actually hate that cooler. Need to find something better for the kayak.
