By Michael Chesloff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this summer I spent a week in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which is famous for its saltwater fishing. The Cape is also rich with small lakes and ponds which just don\u2019t seem to be under much fishing pressure, perhaps because most anglers are focused on offshore action.<\/p>\n

I stayed inland and pursued the bass. All week I was catching 2, 3 and 4 pounders. The fishing was just astounding as the bass smashed Wacky Worms and Frog Imitations in water that was often less than 6 inches deep, which is not a problem with this kayak.<\/p>\n

Best week of fishing I\u2019ve ever had. All the bass were released unharmed.<\/p>\n

And then, this:<\/p>\n

\"22-Incher-in-Hand\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Full-Shot-22-Incher\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I estimate this 22 inch monster weighed between 5 1\/2 and 6 pounds.<\/p>\n
