We arrived at our first area of interest and spotted schools of mullet and a couple of tailing redfish that refused every offering that we had to put in front of them. We then decided to move to another spot which I landed my first fish ever caught on a Mirrodine (First number 1). I can now admit that I have been missing out by not using a Mirrodine.
Here’s my trout that couldn’t refuse the Mirrodine
After I caught my trout, my girlfriend hooks into a nice flounder which got off the hook and was granted another day of freedom.
A couple of these guys dropped in for a landing
Permission for take off
Now it’s about 10:00 AM and the heat and humidity is starting to kick in, we proceeded to move to another spot that looked fishy and we met a nice lady who was new to kayak fishing and granted us permission to fish the area where she was fishing. So we all began to talk and fish when all of the sudden the lady hooked into something big. After all the drag stopped screaming the fish was reeled in and she caught a nice 19 ½” redfish. After my girlfriend and I assisted the nice lady with landing her redfish, I began to fish and hooked a redfish that I fought until it spit the hook. On the very next cast, I hooked and landed my very first redfish caught from a kayak on a soft plastic! I caught an 18 ½” redfish on a ¼ oz DOA Silver Mullet Paddle Tail (First number 2).
All in all, a great day with a couple of firsts was had.
