Kayak Tarpon?

Post by Littoral »

Not yet, but I was faithful to the task for a hour and a half. I was floating a pinfish under a cork waiting for something to happen & reminded that fishing and patience are supposed to go together. :-?
I'll try again until it happens. :o
I gave up & turned on the Chug Bug for some nice +20" trout.

I caught 4 or 5 others this same day - believe it or not Dec. 24, 2006 - Christmas Eve in the Panhandle, not down South....Now if I could just catch a red on a flyrod.

Wishful thinking is that the fish will jump enough first. I do have a drift anchor ready and I could put my regular anchor out.

Yes I do & that is very good advice. That said, I wasn't using it last time out :thumbdown: . Thanks, I've heard enough Boca stories.
