I'm new here on the forum. I haven't had a chance to contribute yet, and I'm very thankful for all the info and helpful people on this site, so I figured I'd post a report.
I launched my kayak out of Prien Lake today and started out early at the drop-offs close to the launch with no luck. Saw a guy catching a few not too far from me. I decided to go to the North side of the bridge with apprehension because there were about 15 boats in the area and it was very foggy. Most of the boats were close to the bridge where the ship channel is, so I decided to find some less crowded water. I caught a rat red mid-morning and had a couple more hits, but the bite was pretty slow where I was.
After moving around quite a bit, I finally found a steady trout bite in around 5 ft of water. Probably could've picked up my limit, but I hadn't planned on staying past around 10:30, so work was beckoning!
The fish were all 12-17 inches, and the wind was virtually non-existent, so all in all, it was a pretty great day to be on the water.
All fish were caught on matrix shad and mirrorlure soft plastics.
