It was my intention to do a C & R trip and try to get as many pictures as possible. I hit the beach at about 1:45 and paddled into the wind until I couldn't paddle any further (5'-6' of water). I caught a really nice trout early on (forgot my measuring stick, I'm guessing around 22"), snapped a picture and let him go. Finished that drift with no more takers and decied to paddle out further for my next drift. I hooked an even bigger one on the next drift, but lost him right beside the boat before I could get a picture. A few minutes later, I cast into a pod of baitfish and hooked up with another nice one, but again I lost him just as I was pulling him into my lap for a picture (I need to start bringing a landing net on my kayak 
). I caught one more 16-17" trout near the end of that drift and released him quickly in the hopes of hooking up with another nice one. Finished that drift with no luck then decided I didn't feel like paddling into the wind again, so I paddled with the wind up to the grassline to look for redfish. I did find one redfish terrorizing a little school of bait and I cast to him, but he must have seen me because he skee-daddled as soon as I did
. I worked the shoreline all the way back to the beach with no luck. As I was loading my kayak, I looked down at my watch and laughed to myself, not quite 4:00. I should do this more often P.S. I was throwing a 4" pearl white Gulp on an unweighted 2/0 circle hook, I somehow made it out there without any 3/0 hooks, and that's what I attribute the two lost fish to.
