This past weekend, I went out on my new kayak to a little lake that is very active in the mornings. There are bass jumping all over the place feeding for a couple hours so I figured I'd have a good chance at catching numbers. Anyways, I ended up catching 2, both near the bank. Every time I saw one jump in the open water I'd cast to the spot but never got a bite. I threw worms, cranks, top waters, fan casting trying to get the open water fish. Even had one jump about a foot from me and immediately dropped my worm but nope. I must be doing something wrong because looking back, I've never caught an open water bass, only ever near the bank or vegetation. Tips??
