Hi,
Took my son and his friend bass fishing around Frank’s tract.  Fishing was pretty good for largemouth bass.  Boys caught five each in four hours (size about 2 to 3 lbs).  All caught on wacky rig senko flipping around tules.

Frank's is intimidating to me in a kayak.  it is just huge and the wind gets up so quickly.

When I used to fish out of my inflatable kayak more I would need to pick days with low wind.  I use windfinder. Also launch at a place if the wind picks up you paddle with the wind back to launch.

I generally find shallow places to fish (less than 5 feet). You will be amazed how many big largemouth bass hangout in shallow water.

I also use a 5lb weight to hold my position and really work an area. When I use the weight I make sure it’s not in a ripping current.

I use my navionics to find the flats.  Sometimes it good to paddle around to find spots for next time.
