We finally got a break from the desert wind and the Colorado River crisis and had a day of great kayak fishing. More like a night and early morning day of kayak fishing. We had a pretty good session a couple days ago, a windy day between, then the best kayak fishing conditions we&#8217;ve had here in several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bass fishing at night for this session was not that good, but still managed to get a nice fish while it was still dark. The fishing during the day wasn&#8217;t on fire either, but for a couple hours between night and day, there was some great kayak fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CORiverLMB4-2-23_1.jpg\" alt=\"Colorado River largemouth bass caught by watermanatwork.com kayak fisherman Ron Barbish\" class=\"wp-image-7276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CORiverLMB4-2-23_1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/CORiverLMB4-2-23_1-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In the past at this time of year, when the sun rises above the desert hills, the temperature also rises quickly.
