Nice day for your maiden voyage!

Lots of "skunking" going around right now... The high water can make for a slow bite.

That spot under GB and Luna is tough so dont feel bad about it. Lots of catfish and gar in there. Bass are not large in numbers and a 3lb fish is a good one there. That said, nice kayak!

I used to fish that spot and other smaller ponds in that area a lot but have gotten into fishing more protected areas of larger lakes and have enjoyed it more. Just bigger fish and more species to target. Examples are Twin Coves at Grapevine, Pilot Knoll on Lewisville, any of the Marinas on Texomas south side, the Buck creek area on Ray Bob etc. Still love fishing those ponds though!

Not sure of the baits you were using but in those areas I always had the best luck on small spinners and yum finesse worms Carolina rigged. I just caught more numbers once I downsized my bait.

Small crankbaits work well too. Running a Baby Minus One over the grass has worked well for me in the past. However, with the water so high, the grass is probably now under 10' of water. Ugh!
