This is a joint club kayak bass fishing tournament at Lake Macbride near Iowa City. This lake is known to be pretty stingy with big fish as it gets a TON of local pressure and not just on the weekends.
I pre-fished and got on a pretty good pattern of schooling fish relating to drop-offs. But, in the end, I decided not to abandon the shallow bite that had been pretty consistent in my previous outings to the lake.
The big bass were tough to find early but as the sun brought up the water temp into the afternoon the big bass started to setup on ambush structure and things started to improve.
I had an unfortunate Big fish get off right at the net in the thick pond scum that ended up being the deciding factor in my positioning in the standings. Although that one mistake cost me likely fishing 2nd in both tournaments, it was a fun grind to catch bass the way I live to do it!
I hope you enjoy the video and be safe out there.
