Ozello 10/6

Post by Dustin »

I went solo on Saturday for my last trip on the Big Bend prior to the move to the other coast (Merritt Island). The weather was great and the tides were decent for a morning excursion to Ozello. The topwater bite was pretty darn good. I landed six reds including 24", 26.75", 27", 28", and 33" fish. The 33" fish weighted 11.5lbs. I lost another two upper/overslot reds, one of which demolished the hooks on my Skitterwalk and probably had another 4-5 massive explosions that didn't result in a solid hookup. Also caught a few trout and several jacks. After the redfish bite tapered off, I fished a few kelp beds for trout and had a ~24" fish on the second cast on a Catch 2000 Jr. Unfortunately, he flipped off as I was bringing him in the boat. Not much company out there today other than flipper. I saw two other kayak fishermen and only a couple boats. Great morning!
