Took my Kayak to Oyster Bay at 6:30 on Sunday. Slight wind and cool temps. Paddled to my favorite oyster bar with the strong outgoing tide and by 7:10 had my first sheepshead, 14-1/2" when I discovered that if you leave your camera in the car on a cold night it tends to drain the battery. So no pictures. Did catch 3 more within the next hour. Final catch was a small pin fish so I decided to stick him under a cajin popper and paddle around. Noticed a lot of splashing and bird divings about a 1/2 mile in the open boat lane and tried to make my way over there. These were some big splashs, about 6 ft high. The wind picked up and by the time I was halfway there, 3 boat had surronded the action. Checked on my pin fish to discover that all the line was stripped from the reel. I was so intent on watching the splashing that I never heard a thing. Decided to call it a day and was back at the ramp by 9:15.
If anyone was there, let me know what it was.

Odds are (big) Ladyfish & Blues. There have been decent schools inshore over there over the last couple of weeks.
Another option for big splashes is dolphin working Mullet.

Nice work Popeye. I was going to meet you out there, but we partied a little too hard for the FSU game Saturday night.

FRP, that is one of my favorite games home or away to attend and I know that it is up in the air regardless of the rankings, but it was hard to celebrate after that game. :smt012

But My FSU buddies had brown liquor for the night game. (Millertime lives up to his name)
