7-21 - Kings island - Canoe
Message:
Okay I convinced a not so experienced friend to come out on the CTR with me today in his kayak. Put in just south of the enfield dam fished a few current breaks with maybe 10 fish about 1-1.5lbs between us. Then we went south and did some fishing around kings island, he couldn't keep up with the current and we kept passing some hot spots. He caught a few more and I ended up with the biggest fish of the day, went 3lbs 8oz.. Had to cut the day short since we got caught in the rain, we weren't able to get down river to some of the better spots I was fishing the last few days. Pending thunderstorms were really turning the fish on though, I spooked a few big fish. While we were racing to the take out I saw an absolute monster smallie chasing a smaller one in about 1ft of water. Big girl was about 5lbs and the lil guy looked to be about 6-7 inches, he was shooting 3-4ft out of the water getting chased by a submarine. He got caught and the big girl swam away crushing the lil guy side ways in it's mouth. Pretty crazy to see, I now need some big swimbaits. Oh and we saw an eagle, that was cool . Water temp - 76 in the shade and up to 90 in the sun Water depth - fish came out of 2-8ft of water, both slack and fast water Baits - jigs Big thing was dropping pressure, that storm came in fast and the the fish were all over. Jig bite took a dive and I didn't have time to switch to cranks before the rain.

I do not want to turn around and see an empty boat.

You need to talk to Phish. He has some soft plastic swim baits that are probably exactly what you want.
