This weekend I went up to Mosquito Lake to fish a bass tournament with Ohio Kayak Fishing. Our group always camps at Mosquito Lake State Park Campground and this time we were surprised to find that the campground had scheduled Trick-Or-Treat for this early October weekend, so that was different and fun.
I had one day to pre-fish out on Mosquito but as it has been going this year my electronics didn’t work…this time due to rodent damage on the transducer cord. So pre-fishing was less productive than I had hoped, but any time on the water is good!
On tournament day my biggest goal was to cover water and keep switching up lures until I found fish and not to get stuck in one place or with one lure. From history I knew that the bass on Mosquito like to live in the shallow grass, so I focused on areas that I could see grass, started with topwater, then chatterbait, then a stealth chatterbait which got me my first 2 fish. When that bite died I found a cove with a huge amount of bait fish and threw a weightless fluke which got me my next 3 keepers. When those fish stopped biting I moved again and found a place that looked perfect to dropshot and caught my last 3 but only one was a keeper.
It is such a treat to fish a lake that I am building history on after all these years where I had to just show up at lakes I had never seen before compete, now I just need to figure out how to turn that history into wins!

Heck yeah 💪
I have a lynx here in Australia. I had a similar issue with my Garmin as you. My transducer cover got a heap of rocks/,sand in it. When I got it all out it went back to working great. My Garmin would only work if it was deeper than 5m. Well done on the fish
It looked like you had fun and I think that is the main thing.
Good video. I just purchased the same Kayak from Strictly Sail & Kayak and I love it!
