Acton Lake Hueston Woods Kayak Bass Fishing with Cincinnati Kayak Fishing Tournament Trail

On this beautiful 98 degree Ohio summer day, I fished a Cincinnati Kayak Fishing tournament on Acton Lake in Hueston Woods State Park near Oxford, Ohio. I decided that my plan was going to be going up one of the creeks feeding into the lake and try to find some current and some shade that might be holding bass. The bummer of the day was the lake was under an e-coli warning for high levels of fecal bacteria, so no matter how hot I got I couldn’t use the water to cool down!

After 5 years of tournament fishing I had my first glitch with the TourneyX app that we use in kayak fishing when I was unable to get into the tournament to submit fish and we couldn’t get it figured out until after the tournament at 4pm at which point the TD had me email the fish photos and he submitted manually. The owner/creator of the app called me to diagnose the issue and we figured out it was because of a lack of cell service my phone had never let the app know I was there so the tournament never “activated”.

Thank you to Dwayne from TourneyX and everyone involved in running the tournament with Cincinnati Kayak Fishing for working around this glitch and getting my fish counted! I had just promised last week that from now on I would have a better more positive attitude when things didn’t go my way in fishing, and I thought it was pretty funny of the universe to throw this situation at me literally the next weekend.
