Comment: The boat and watercraft traffic is borderline out of control at times. I've seen people in bass boats come zipping along, larger vessels going by with people actively drinking at the controls, but the worst are the people on jet-skis and personal watercraft. They seem to see the River as their own personal slalom course, and blow by often at or close to full speed... and there is not nearly enough room for that; someone's going to get seriously hurt one day doing this.

I try to avoid fishing it during the day on weekends, but it's pretty quiet to dead in terms of boat traffic on weekdays. If you're going to try a kayak, I'd recommend early on a Saturday or Sunday morning as the sun comes up: Not only is it damn pretty at that time of the day, but there's almost no boat traffic, and the fish are usually active.

To this point the best success I've had are using Watermelon-colored worms fished Texas-style, tossing them weightless into the hydrilla or along it and working it slowly. Haven't landed that trophy fish yet, but there's a lot of smaller largemouth bass, and if you can find them, smallmouth on the bottom, a finesse worm worked slowly being effective.

Comment: Nice work. I still haven't been able to find them around there. I tried in the kayak near that bridge once and found it a little unnerving how fast some of the boat traffic goes under that bridge. Tried from the rocks a few times without much success either. I won't give up hope there, though, with good reports like these...
