Cockroach or The Kitchen?

[catfish]

Well, got freed up for a few hours Saturday morning. I was thinking about hitting Cockroach early, but I have always liked the Kitchen on an incoming tide. Are the airboats still bad in the Kitchen, or was it all duck hunters?

Rassin' frassin' airboats have ruined the Kitchen for me. Damn near got run over while I was standing up in my canoe, trying to get a fly out to a school of jacks. Sat down real quick, wishing I had something akin to an RPG...

the airboat should be limited to what it was made for. the everglades. where you cannot drive a normal boat. i saw one in the old tampa bay last weekend WHYYYYYYY!!!!! it makes you wish you carried a paintball gun with you

I always do well in the Kitchen. Then again I fish it probably more than any other spot. Airboats suck but whatya gonna do? I live less than 5 mins from the put in ( yes I do have all my teeth, no I dont sleep with my sister ) so I fish it lotts. I love Cockroach but the croud kills it for me. The kitchen is becoming the same way as time goes on.
The mullet netters piss me off nearly as much as the airboats, all backwards Gibtown carnie folk if you ask me. They will run on top of you without caring one way or the other. I had a guy in a pontoon boat run on top of me and cast net my deployed acnhor trying to run me off a school of reds mixed in with mullet. He carght a Zara Spook in the arm....oops

Based on the polls (although a small sample group), I guess I should stay home Saturday morning.

I will, however, be leaving work early Friday, and heading over for an enjoyable afternoon at Cockroach.

We fished the Kitchen and Cockroach the week of the last EEF tournament. You guys have some awesome fishing in those areas. I found a really good hole over by that big power plant behind the Customs place. It drops off pretty deep and holds a lot of fish when the tide is out. If you paddle there from bullfrog and head straight for the stacks its on the other side of that last island. It was slam full of fish but it would have been time negligent for us to fish it in the tourney. We had lots of luck with big reds outside Bullfrog on the low tide. That cut outside and to the right was full of reds and trout moving back and forth through the cut under our yaks.
