Worm Fishing in the Morning

The conversation developed a simple two-rod plan for an early-morning Kansas outing: keep one heavier setup on the bottom for catfish while actively working a lighter worm rig for bass and crappie. The strongest general pattern is shallow structure at first light, followed by a move toward deeper edges, brush, timber, bridge supports, or channel transitions as the morning brightens. Exact lake conditions and regulations still need to be checked before a trip.
