Yak-Bassing Boltz Lake

**MetalFish513** · 05-15-2013

Took my kayak out on Boltz Lake from about 7am-9am this morning. It was a nice morning other than the wind. The sun was shining and the air temp was in the high 60's. With it being my first time there I didn't really know where to begin so I first started pitching jigs around docks. I tried that for about 45 mins with nothing to show for it. I don't have any electronics on my yak yet so I have to use structure I can see from above the water. I started hitting all the points of the coves. That was where I started to find fish. They were specifically on points with rocks. They wouldn't hit a jig but instead would take a fluke. I honestly think if the wind hadn't been blowing me all over the place I could have worked the jig a little more effectively and probably caught some fish on it but it just wasn't happening. I couldn't keep the yak steady enough. But I found a few that wanted the fluke though. No monsters or anything but still a fun morning. I will definitely be back to that lake. It was really nice. I saw a lot of bluegill hitting bugs on the surface that made me really wish I had brought the fly rod. That will have to wait till next time though. Thanks to all who gave me some helpful info on my last thread about this lake!
