OROVILLE, Calif. – The first day of the 2021 Wild West Bass Trail (WWBT) Kayak Championship on the Thermalito Afterbay presented by Headwaters Kayak closed with John Myers of Atwater, Calif., leading the 46-angler field with 75.25” for five fish.
Following his launch at Monument ramp, Myers made a 40-minute run north to pick up his first bass.

“I fished about 10 minutes and got that one,” he said.

Myers then relocated with another 20-minute run to pick up his next.

“It was about two miles away,” he revealed. “I went in and must have made five or six casts and got no bites. I was going to leave; but I looked at that same spot and it just looked right. I made another cast, and it was my big fish. I just gave it a little different angle. So then, I decided maybe I needed to go back and forth on the areas and that’s exactly what I started doing.”

Myers filled out his limit before 1 p.m.

“I am fishing a very specific pattern,” he said. “I’m throwing a reaction bait. One lure on 20-pound P-Line Tactical fluoro caught all my fish.”

Myers goes into Day Two feeling good and plans to duplicate his long run.
