moved down a bit and found another.
the sun finally got up a bit so i could actually see the skitter in action so i moved down the bank to my ole faithful spot in hopes of a red but i missed him 3 times in a row and only ended up with this guy but i will take em
although i did pretty good in the morning. hats off to rob for jumping a TARPON on the skitterwalk!!! he saw him gulp some air right in front of his yak and flung his topwater in front of him about 15 feet. it was two seconds before the monster crushed it and peeled off line. as soon as he set tthe hook pretty good. it shot into the air thrashing his head violently at which point the plug ripped loose
(i was fishing 200yds away when all of this took place) upon further investigation he realized the screw was actually ripped out of the plug along with the trebble. by the time i finally got over to him i got the whole story and while he was telling what happened it jumped again and again trying to free the hooks still in his mouth. so with all of that taking place he decided to go catch some pins and soak em under a cork with no poons to be found. so i head to the flats and right off the bat i see a red on the back of a ray! i lost them shortly after. then i think humm i winder how rob is doing right now? when i turn around i see him in the middle of a pod of diving birds! and i haul butt over there to get in the action!
the first cats i loose $9 the second cast i loose $5 the third cast i hook up! thank got it wasnt another toothy critter. i was delighted to see a jack come to the surface but no kayak wars points like i thought.
i had everything hit those topwaters! spanish, blues, ladies, jacks u name it. it was there! in all the action rob hooked up with a decent shark on a pin fish.
once the action died we were exhausted and with the sun beating down on us it was geting tempting to head in but one last trout to wrap up one of the most action filled days this year!
