Hello All,

Just getting into the sport and I'm starting to get an interest in fishing inshore around the Apalachee Bay area. I haven't been out there yet but I plan to go soon. Seems as though the three most common fish around that area are Redfish, Flounder and Trout. Any advice as to what type of tackle/lures/baits to use? Where each fish type may be located? Etc...

Mostly interested in Reds and I've already got a Skitterwalk lure, which I hope to cause some damage with. Anywho, some information on best practices for handling/landing each fish safely would be much obliged as well. Hope to see some of you guys out there!

Also, (couldn't resist) I'd like to take this moment to brag and show off my first fish I ever caught from a kayak. This Bluegill was caught at Piney Z lake in Tallahassee (right next to lake Lafayette)

Welcome aboard and congrats on your first fish from a yak. Be sure to check out our local kayak forum at http://www.fcka.net/home/index.html . There, you'll find lots of local info to your questions. You'll also find info on a free monthly tournament schedule designed to get folks together to learn and fish different areas from a kayak. Nice Outback

No, we're just doing our part for the economy.
