Bass fishing not the same

Since the advent of the plastic sit-on-top kayak and the internet, anglers have posted shots of their catches, forgetting that the background might hold secrets. Plus, there’s the explosion of information on rigging, technique, and gear. When a new product hits the market (see the Alabama Rig) it catches on and might be in use nationwide within weeks.

The national Kayak Bass Fishing’s California partner, California Kayak Bass Fishing, is hosting an open tournament at Lower Otay Reservoir this Saturday at 6:00 a.m.

These are CPR (catch, photograph, release) events, wherein bass are boated, photographed on an approved measuring board, and then released.
