I'm like you Buckhunter14 ..I'm right on them..I use the wind to my advantage..I'll let the wind blow me along the shoreline and stick the bait on them..

Or nudge myself in a thick spot and hit every crack and cranny.

MRl0004 ..a Kayak would be perfect...I've caught many bass flipping sitting down..When my wife and I were first married ; she used to hold a book in one hand reading it and flipping with the other...sitting sown.SHe caught a lot of bass..

The good thing about a kayak..you can get to places most guys can't A kayak would be perfect for skimming across cover ..especially mats...and sitting back flipping.
