4-8-13 Gasparilla Sound/Placida Area

Post by Pmoconnor89 »

Got out to fish for a solo trip after getting off work in the morning. Fished about 3 hours from 7:30-10:30 and managed 5 fish. The best part about those 5 fish is that three of them were redfish. I have a hard time consistently targeting the reds in this certain spot but found a pattern that worked and produced reds of 26, 25, and 22 inches. I also got a snook that was about 21", and finished the day working HARD for a trout to round out the slam. Probably could have got a couple more reds but wanted to change tactics and get a picture of a trout since it had been so long since I had slammed in one trip. All fish today came on a DOA shrimp in gold flake.

Nice slam.
Being out on the water in the kayak is the prize. Catching fish is the bonus.
