gator trout!!

Post by skitterwalk »

i got up and headed to the flats onlt to barely see a massive wall of rain headin right for me! i decided to head back and i was right. i was pounded with rain until about 7:00 and headed back out with no luck. once i gat on shore i knoticed bait pods nervious around the surface so i went ahead and made a cast and WHAM! redfish on. I snaped a pic and threw her in the cooler, then went back to fishing.

a few minutes later and...wham wham another red on. another pic and he was on his way.

but my best fish of the day came when i layed my skitterwalk right next to a dock piling and slowly walked in back. then when i turned away i feel a tug.(yes i walk it when im not lookin) i didnt get excited because i thought it was another little red.he got wraped in a bouy but got off in a sec. when i reeled him up closer i realized it was a HUGE TROUT!! i baby him in the rest of the way and when i reached down i am over joyed with the sight of this brute :D

Dude, Your posts are really starting to make me sick. Between the weather, work and more work, I've caught like 3 under-slot trout, one under-slot redfish and a toadfish all month. My buddy and I were talking about doing the Kayak Wars a while back, but after reading all of your posts, I see that we would never stand a chance. :(

Keep em comin! :thumbup: Very Nice!
