Excited to start my first kayak league tomorrow. I’ve gone over all the rules and it’s more or less time lines and how to CPR your fish. So I don’t make an a$$ out of myself, what are some of the unwritten rules to go by. For example, I don’t know how much distance I should give my fellow anglers before it starts to be an issue. What are other things I should know about?

Gotta love the frog!

I have a lot of pond weed in one of my lakes that have plenty of LMBs stocked. I’m new to pitching and I’m not too confident on gaging the drop rate. Would a 1 ounce bullet weight be too much to start with?

How many of you guys use a checklist to prep before you actually hit the water? It was my second day on my kayak and I am still forgetting things I need to do. It sent my mood in the dumps, spending more time adjusting rather than fishing.

When we’re talking about clear water, what exactly are you referring to? Clear by visibility or clear by clear of algae or other contaminants? Are we referring to what we see, or what the fish would see? Would we consider a lake that has less then 5 feet of visibility to be clear or stained? Also, I’m not trying to be a wise a**, I live in the central midwest and have never fished what I would consider a clear lake before.

With this encyclopedia of fishing information here, what would be the core/building blocks I should learn first before I overwhelm myself?
