Had a late start this morning on the kayak but, it didn't seem to be a problem. Found the reds where I was expecting them... one week makes quite a difference. In 2.5-3 hours I landed 5 reds, had 4 missed hooksets, 1 break off and twice ran out of water between me and the fish stalking the lure. The first red was about 24" on a quick retrive. After that fish it took a bit to find the presentantion they wanted. This led to the other fish which were 27 - 32".

I left after my break off while the bite was still on. I was content with the day and didn't want to put to much pressure on the school.

There was a lot more bait this weekend than last. While fishing for reds I saw 3 legal sheepshead and 2 spanish.

Yesterday I fished just for a bit with my sister before she was ready to hit Grassy and swim. I landed a 26 3/4" red on a exude and she had a red on at the same time until it spit the hook. I saw a few reds just north of keaton as the tide was slacking out.

Sorry if there are any typos, I posted this from my cell phone on a hammock...

Glad you had a good trip

Thanks! I responded to your PM, if there is anything else I can do let me know.

Long paddle from Keaton to Grassy in a Kayak ain't it FMI? It's a fer piece in a motorized boat.

Nice report!

Sounds like you know what you are doing!

Reminds me of looking at candy through the glass and thinking, "How can I get my hands in the jar!"

Thanks!

From Cedar Island to the north end of Grassy on a high tide paddle (saves about a mile or so one way over bottomed out tide) it's about 5.5 miles one way. I did just over 13 miles this past fall in some stout winds in to shallow of water which made of a "Fun" paddle. With an efficient kayak it's not a bad paddle, to me the paddle is 1/2 the fun.

Thanks! It was a bit lacking on details and pictures but posting on a cell is limiting... I'll see about adding more detail to the next report.

You know what they say; Even a blind acorn finds a squirrel every now and then...

This made me chuckle
