The past few days I've been taking the kayak out and catching a few decent fish less than 100 yards from my pier. A few barely legals and mostly short fish, but on a light rod with 8lb mono they were as lot of fun.
Tonight I went out around 6pm and paddled for a bit, anchored and drained a couple of beers and waited for the wind to die down. I was hoping for a "calm before the storm."
The water eventually did get flat as a board and the fishing got pretty hot. I caught over 20 fish tonight with 5 of them being between keeper sized up to 26 inches.
All were caught on a small gold spoon in less than 10' of water. Caught them casting and trolling.
I know I don't have any world records here, but they were fun, and they were BITING. Super fun in the kayak.
