2011 revo HELUVA 1ST RUN!!
Posted: December 5th, 2010, 10:09 pm
It started out as a normal morning...Rob and I slip in the water at the crack of dawn in search of our quarry.The redfish,flounder, and gator trout. Twas quite productive in the morning despite the gail force winds that we illuded by hugung the shore line casting One knockers, spoons, and jigs. with a few highlights.
Rob is whoopin me with the reds in the begining on ADL Spoons .I just kept my head on straight and battled the wind for hours and finally it lays off. The water is slick as glass right up aganst the shoreline, so I stand up and pole up closer.When all of the sudden I knotice reds cruising EVERYWHERE! One ususpecting red cruses right up to the bow of my revo so I drop a jig right on his nose and Slurp! He actually ate in right off the bow of my boat in water that is CRYSTAL clear.
I was stoked about my first sight casted red off the bow of the boat! Poled around for another 30 min and Bamo! Another falls to my jig.
I mean to tell ya. the 580 lenses from coasta del mar will make those reds stand out like a soar thumb even in the grass. The reds are spooked enough to where they would just completly ignore my jig now so rob tells me about a place he knows that should be holding fish right now. So we pack it up and make a run to the last spot of the day. Along the way I pick a little flounder completing my slam.
when we get to the spot. I imeditely head to the slick water aganst the shoreline to try and sight cast to a red or two and am rewarded shorty there after
The day was boiling to an end so I lay down my jig and pick up th One knocker in hopes of a few last minute trout over 20" to post on Kayak Wars. 2nd cast and a decent 24'' trout slams it. Stoked up, I snap a pic and go back for more. About half way through my retrieve. Some sort of Prehistoric Dinosaur clears the air knocking my plug out of the air and coming down on it like a ton of bricks 8O I yell "Monster trout rob! Monster trout!" With head thrashes that look like an actual alligator I begin to get scared of what my eyes are about to whitness. I see a trout that I thought would break the record books looking at her in the water and play her in and put the vice on her back and PHEWW! I whip her up in the yak and lay her on the measureing board. 30 inches! Skitterwalk you are da man! upon further review she went 29" but easily more if I layed her out on my three sided measureing board :mrgreen:
Definetly a day I will never forget! My first trip out in my 2011 hobie revolution I caught a slam, 29" trout, caught my 1st sightcasted red(25"), and my 1st red on an ADL spoon! there is something about that kayak im tellin you
