We decided to cross to the South side of the Skyway and try the flats and around Joe Island. Tide was high and the clouds were headed our way.
Met a yaker coming in as we were putting out, didn't get his name, but I am sure he thought we were crazy for fishing that morning, but when I told him we were coming from Orlando and Savannah, he said, "Well if that's the case then, you have to fish...."
Jonathan (UL1) weighing our options....
Met two more "locals" who were also obviously crazy because they pushed out right behind us. It didn't take long find the Specs.
They were getting bigger and then I looked over my shoulder.....
Time to do something different!!!
After getting back to shore safely, we decided to wait it out. I spent all of last year waiting for the opportunity for a slam while sitting in the desert outside of Tikrit, Iraq, so waiting a few more minutes or hours was a no-brainer!
After an hour and a half rain delay and a trip to another bait shop in Bradenton off we went heading for the mangroves for part two.....
soon after came the second piece of the puzzle....
another round of light showers and finally.......Mission accomplished!
and one for the road....
All in all, we met 3 other devoted yakers and saw quite a few fish caught, but there were no monsters, still it was a good day on the water.
Thanks Rik for the intel...
Tight Lines.......
"UL2 OUT"
