Fishing Report 10/7/12
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2012 5:19 pm
Went out at 6:30am and back at the dock at 12:30pm from the Pelican Harbor launch. Fished North of the 79th street causeway. Weather was overcast with a few sprinkles and light winds.
Fishing was simply on fire except for the slack tide time when even tossing grenades wouldn't even get fish. Tons of jacks in the bay but not that many trout hook ups. Fishing with a new guy who had only fished out of his kayak once before and was only his second time on the bay. He had 6 trout in the boat along with lots of jacks before I had my first trout. Between us we must have gotten 30 jacks+ and about 15 trout. Both of us got our personal best with him getting a 22 1/2" trout and I topped my best with a 25 1/2" trout.
Was a rather sad personal best in one way because the trout simply didn't fight. Damn thing lodged the lure between his gills and all he did is shake his head while I brought him in. Gill damage would have killed him so ...yea he made some damn fine fish tacos!
I am the bottom guy.
