Kings, Snapper, Reds, etc
I fished a couple days this last week with varying degrees of success. Wednesday I paddled out to the bay after the rains came through and caught an hour of some epic topwater action. Picked up some nice reds and trout.
I also had a huge boil around my Super Spook that had replaced 4X hooks on it. A couple of good headshakes later the fish spits my plug and when I reeled it in, this is what I found(20 # braid 20# leader and light drag) The fish ripped two of the treble hooks off the splitrings and straightened the hooks on the other
Friday I went a bit west of Panama City and beach launched. We paddled out a couple miles to around 70 feet of water. On the way out while trolling we picked up some decent Kings
Fishing a couple wrecks, we picked up some nice snapper and grouper.
Beach fishing this time of year from a kayak is a blast. With a little bit of knowhow and the right gear, you can really have some good success out there. Good times!

Great report!

tackle busters; I like it. Nice work.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

SUPER! Don't you just love it when a plug gets destroyed like that? I like to hang those on my "lure wall of fame."
Given the choice of great fish or poor tackle I go with the fish....every time!

The idea of being a "couple" mile sout and pulling in Grouper from a yak just don't seem right. I have a long way to go to get that comfortable in a yak.
