Kayak Fishing

5-7-08 Palm Valley

Went out at 4:30. the fishing was slow and the tide was not moving very much. Had a few bites but no hookups until the sun came up. Then I caught 6 Trout between 18" and 20" in a half an hour all on top water.
Then the sun started getting hot and I realized that I had lost my Tilley Hat. So, I left early and went back looking for it (they float) For some strange reason and for the first time ever, I had put my fishing license, Drivers license and a credit card in its pocket. I did not find it so I rushed home to cancel the credit card. There was a message on my answering machine at home. Amazingly it was the FWC and they had a phone number for me to call to go rescue my hat. James had found my hat while doing dock work. It was the second one he had found. Back out to Palm Valley I go and I met James at the job site. I gave him a reward and thanked him profusely. As soon as this wind dies down, look for at least 3 reports a week.

4-25-08 Beach Blvd. ICW

Caught a small, but legal slam in 75 minutes. the trout was 15.25 inches. I did not measure the others.

A few more flounder and trout showed up but when the tide turned, the fishing turned off.

All fish were caught using DOA Cal, Silver Mullet soaked in Gulp Juice on a 1/16 oz Missouri jig head.

12/4/07 Sisters Creek - Must have caught 60, 14 7/8" trout and nothing else. Trout were fun on a light rod.

12/1/07 Beach Blvd. ICW - Fished a few hours and caught a few rats and a slot Red, 3 Flounder of which the largest was only 18" and about 10 small trout.

11/21/07 Beach Blvd ICW - Just a few slot Reds and a few Flounder

11/20/07 Sisters Creek - It was a beautiful day with very little wind. Caught 8 Reds to 20", Could have caught all the trout I wanted but they were small.

11/19/07 Beach Blvd ICW - Caught 6 Reds, 4 rats, 2 slots, and 3 flounder between 13" and 20"

11/6/07 Sisters Creek - Went out for a few hours to test the new sail I made. It still needs some tweaking! But I did catch a half dozen Rat Reds and a few trout.

10/26/07 Sisters Creek - Caught 3 flounder up to 20"and a bunch of 15"ish trout and 1 large rat Red. The reds did not seem to be in their normal locations. I caught this one when I saw shrimp being attacked by what I thought was a flounder. I paddled over and threw my Cal Tail in and got an immediate hit.
