Kayak trip out of Wakulla Beach 12/10/2020

I got to Wakulla Beach at 10:30 a.m. and was putting in with other kayakers. Another kayaker said he didn't think the fish would be biting since the water was too cold. I was mainly out there to test my new kayak. I decided to head east towards East Goose Creek. At 11:03 I land my first redfish of the day right at the creek mouth. I caught it using a Z-man Trout Trick in Rootbeer Chartreuse. I head into East Goose Creek and see a dolphin cruising in water just deep enough to keep its dorsal fin covered. I ended up breaking my Z-man off due to not checking the line after dragging it on some oysters. Instead of rerigging, I switched to a Cajun Thunder rig with a ghost shrimp. At 11:18 I land a trout. After landing the trout I finally get motivated a rerigged another Z-man. I cruised around a few feeder creeks but didn't see any tailing redfish. I head back to the main creek and see the dolphin headed back out of the creek. A short paddle later and I land a second redfish at 12:17. I tooled around for a little bit and headed back to the beach and off the water at 1:00 pm.
I didn't bring a measuring board with me or a catch bag since it was my first adventure in the new kayak and fishing was more of a secondary reason for being out there.
