Well, it was a good day yesterday for kayak fishing east of the south tower at Thachers Island west of Londoner reef and the big iron pole. Water temps were in the low 70’s, sun was out, few boats were on the water.
Schoolie bass were rounding up on the surface, indifferent to all baits and lures but stippling the water then thrashing did the midwater column when the kayaks spooked them.
As any angler will tell you, bleed blues. Be sure to rip out….err, remove their gills.
Good eating!

There are kayaks made for fishing. Like the Wilderness System Tarpon 16.

Had one two years ago, sold it. Too slow, limited in range, and too heavy to lug around.
And not very seaworthy either in rough water either.
Give me a sea kayak any day….

Yup, poor fish.
But because someone wanted both pate’ and fillets to grill and bake and fry.
This fish fed six…
