So the weather gods smiled on us this weekend, what a great weekend to be on the water. Very few periods with wind.
So i put in @ first light. Was kinda funny, its been so long since i've had to board a Kayak from a dock, that i did the (I dont wanna flip it dance for about 5 minutes). Finally found my magic spot for the feet, got in and away i went.
It was awesome, real quiet, very little tidal movement though with the 2 tide cycle, but great weather for a re-acqaintance trip.
1st cast, fish on. Didnt get a shot to see what it was because it wrapped me up in some oysters and spit the hook. (Oh well, after some maneuvering i got myself loose, and even got my plug back).
Kept paddling down to Bayou Grande, and got to enjoy a pod of manatees hamming it up. Those animals are so cool.
Water was pretty dirty (normally much cleaner but with all the rain and runoff, it was to be expected.) Still quite a bit of bait hanging around though.
General consensus, Kayak fishing is awesome. I am either going back to Weedon or up to Ft. Desoto next weekend to fish the full moon tides.
Hope everyone had a good and safe weekend on the water.
Tight Lines,
Jason
P.S. Me and the old man went to the Florida Sportsman Fishing show this past saturday at the Florida State Fairgrounds. (What a rip off...the expo hall was half empty) . I sure hope the outdoor expo they normally do in Feb gets better participation.

Just Arti's. This was more of a scouting trip. I caught and landed a few, but it was cool. everything i caught was over slot..and i didnt go around the bend cuz the clouds starting to build and i didnt want to get stuck to far out.
