awesome, as MR mentioned even the big tarpon may be keying in on minnows. may not land one but could be worth a hook up by trying a very small white rapala or teeny tiny swimbait. cast right on their head they will spook or may bite

Did some skinny water kayak fishing sunday.... and took to the ocean monday.
Sunday creeped around my fav backwater spot... got 4 keeper flounder (or Flukes as you guys would say ) Lost a few others.... all in 2' or less of water on rootbeer/chartreuse curly tail DOAs on a 1/8 oz jighead...
Spooked a HUGE redfish early that morning, that still haunts me (had to have been well over slot) Threw a WAVE when he panicked.
Monday headed off the beach as it's been as flat as it gets... trolled for kings. Pulling a Manns Stretch 25 on wire, and a large swimshad on fluro......rt away, got a solid hookup. Thought it was a NICE king. Turned out to be a foul hooked bonito
Still got the blood flowing
.....A little while later... same rod /rig... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... OH SHIT. BIG King, dumped like 50 yards of line instantly..... then gone. Ate through the Fluro.
Wind unexpectedly came up pretty solid from the NW and kinda kicked my ass.... There were Spanish Macks jumping all around, but the tackle I had was too big, and the surface chop made it hard to see, and impossible for me to stand and sight cast.... came in after 3 hours. Pretty spent. Wanted to get after em tuesday as it was FLAT but don't have it in the tank to lug all that gear down the beach and paddle for a few hours.... went out a mile plus on monday...and trolled the whole time.
did sneak out wednesday morn... 3rd cast a decent flounder inhaled a 6" DOA jerkbait. thought it would be on fire... just ended up with one more small one, and I only kept him because he inhaled the jig/grub to his guts.. back to work/reality....... sorry about the lack of paragraphs.... whats the deal with this site?

We had an overnight trip for the Middle Grounds planned for Fri-Sat.... that got canceled last minute when the forecast changed (wouldve been a long ride in in a 28CC)
Boat's ower asked if we wanted to bottom fish on sunday. Well..... it wasnt an overnighter 100 miles offshore in the gulf, but did get to bottom fish 50+ off of JAX yesterday.... bumpy ride out and we could only do 20 kts (luckily laid down throughout the day and ride in was nice)
My first drop (on a 50# dropper rig with little 2/0 hooks for trigger fish) pulled up a keeper cobia
Got slow from there with mostly junk fish... so we kept pushing out deeper to 150'....and made a late 4th qtr comeback
In the end 4 of us tallied: 1 cobia, 17 trigger fish (a few nice ones) and our 20 fish limit of beeliners (vermillion snapper) with alot of nice ones around 20".... and unfortunately 2 pretty large sharks that we thought may have been grouper or Amberjacks
Left my house before 5am.... got back home at 10pm draggin ass today
