The Cullman Kayakers Lake Catoma Derby - June 12th 2021


 

Well, here we are on a sunny summer Sunday morning. Dog has been fed and hot coffee is in hand. The Cullman Kayak Anglers fifth tourney is in the books and for most anglers was a true grind. While the bass seemed to bite well early on, the bite began to fade out as the morning progressed.

I would like to give a big shout out to Tony Dean and The Kayak Store (located in Hartselle) for all the support for our club and for the kayak fishing sport in general. If you are new to kayaking fishing or considering getting started, go see Tony. You will not be disappointed.

Personal shout also to our three podium placers 1st Spencer Miller, 2nd Chris Martin, and 3rd Jesse Halverson. Oh yeh..BIG FISH winner Jason Jones with a whopping 21.50 incher.

Having been away from tournament fishing for awhile I’ll be honest in telling you I was physically exhausted after this one. Throwing a spinnerbait in the grass produced most of my bites. Pitching a jig in the grass after a couple of missed spinnerbait swipes did produce two of my fish. One other little Spotted Bass was caught on a shaky head.

As I look down the leader board I realize just how close of a derby this was. This reminds me of why you don’t quit and just keep on grinding.
