Sunday funday in the marsh! 8/2/20
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:19 pm
Launched on the intercoastal at 6am. Headed straight for the marsh and strung up the first flounder at around 7:30. Fooled it with a pearl chartreuse knockin tail lure just blind casting at a point. I caught my first rat red not long after that, casting to some bait getting busted up on the grass line.
I went an hour without a hit so I started throwing a popping cork with a gulp mullet and caught my second keeper flounder and two more rat reds fairly quick.
Throughout the day I lost a couple of nice flounder at the net, seems to happen every trip now. Oh well they felt nice on the end of my line. I saw a couple small schools of redfish but couldn't get them to take my lures. The water level was high so they were hard to spot.
All in all I had a great day fishing. I haven't been to this marsh in a while so it was nice to explore it again. I didn't see any other kayaks all day, that really surprised me. I had a 5 mile paddle back to the launch into 10-13 mph winds, boy I was whipped when I got back. I usually fish my way back but I stayed out too late and needed to head to the truck. Can't wait to get back out there!
Thanks for reading, tight lines y'all!
