Heading out the channel to cast for trout there was way too much boat traffic. I moved onto the North flat where I connected with my 1st red caught by myself on a spook.(have caught a few with a guide) It was way exciting !! I actually heard myself asking that fish to please stay hooked as I worked him to the kayak. AT 22 inches, he would be lunch. I celebrated with a cigar then made my way back to the channel where a little flounder (another 1st for me here) and a baby trout made up the closest thing to a slam I've landed.
Great start to the new year.Only hope it is a sign of things to come
btw, Much thanks to Rik for the instructions for posting pics.
Happy New Year all. See you at Ft. Desoto.
