Got cut out really early from work today. Early enough to load up the kayak and go back to what is becoming my home lake. Started off with pieces of nightcrawlers under a float. Nabbed my first-ever P'seed, at 8 1/2":

Caught a few short LMBs and a few 'gills. Then I realized the fish were probably focused on insect nymphs, judging from all the Damselfly shucks I saw coming through the weedbed to this spot. Tied on a buggy-looking jig, and tipped it with a waxie. Hung that under my float. Cast out. Immediate hit! Started tagging 'gills with a greater frequency.
I did remember to bring my anchor this time. It's just a 3 lbs hand weight tied to a thin line, but it held my kayak in some decent wind today. I guess I'm going to have to start carrying that all the time now.
