Aucilla 3/28 & 3/29
Posted: March 31st, 2008, 10:29 am
I decided to fish the Aucilla during the Kayak tournament.
Prefished Friday and did more exploring than fishing. I ended up with a 53” slam that included this nice 20” flounder.
I also missed on a couple of nice reds and trout, so all in all I felt good about my game plan for the tournament.
I launched from the ramp at 7 Saturday morning with Paddle2u. I headed straight for the area that produced fish the day before while Paddle2u went to a couple of creeks he fished on Thursday. I immediately landed a 19” red and then had a nice one throw the hook on me. Although disappointed that I missed a big red I was still pleased with how the day started. I spent the next 3 ½ hours fishing for trout and flounder without even getting a single bite.
With time running out I make a gamble and paddle 40 minutes to the creeks Paddle2u was fishing. Upon arriving I bring in this nice little trout
Things were looking up. I paddled over to a spot that looked like it would hold flounder. Made a couple of cast and hooked up with this 18.25” flounder that ended up winning the Flounder division and me a new Perception Search 15 donated by Wilderness Way.
I ended up catching this red with a few minutes left to fish giving me a 58” slam. Not enough to win but respectable.
Thanks to Suber for organizing an awesome tournament and to the sponsors for donating some cool prizes. Everybody had a great time and we were able to support a wonderful charity doing what we all love to do, fishing.
