Oh well, it's a pleasure for me to fish and not make it hard on myself.
Anyway, got on the water at around 9:30. Conditions were beautiful, low NNE winds and temps felt great. Only one person unloading and not another soul anywhere in the direction I was going. The water was a little more milky brown than I thought it would be, but for that area, I have better luck like that than when it is crystal clear. Started exploring the shorelines looking for signs. Spooked what I think was a Red by the mud boil but couldn't find any to play. Went to a couple of spots I usually find them and nothing. Headed toward the OLD ICW and by the time I got there the wind picked up and was coming in from the southeast now. Still very comfortable on the water. Started fishing the edges of the OLD ICW reefs on the wind blown side and hooked up with a nice one with a gulp under a popping cork. Just when I was going for the net he pulls the ol, lets run under the kayak trick. Yep, he broke me off!So I switch up and fish my redfish magic spinner and hook up with a fiesty little 14" red. A little later and down the reef some more I hook up with the devil fish on my spinner. Yes, flounder are devil fish!! I say that because they either fool you and get unhooked before you net them, flop out of the kayak when you think they are done, or end up cutting you some way or another. This time it really wasn't his fault, I layed my filet knife on the counter and when I was washing the slime off of him my finger slides across the blade and gives me a nice deep cut that bled forever! He got his revenge even in death!! lol That was it, packed up, got a 6 pack on the way home and enjoyed the evening.
