Howdy y'all. Well I took off last Saturday morning around 5:00 and showed up to flat glass calm water. We couldn't ask for better kayaking weather. We tried to catch some live bait on the way to our spot but all we found were small mullet. We finally got to our spot and casted out our lines and waited a while with nothing to show, and then this shows up...

Needless to say we got rained on. The wind and rain almost took our yaks away from the beach. During the storm I got a fish on, but with all the lightning around I waited to grab the rod Very Happy

. After the storm passed it was on fire and we both limited out quick! There was only a 10% chance of rain and that is the reason we decided to fish. I didn't think we would get caught in this.

This was my catch....

Also my certificate came in from the sheepshead I caught a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd share it with y'all.

Hope to be out there again soon!

congrats on the record. I must have missed your post on it. I was at the same spot last year before a storm and nothing to show for until after it passed and it was on!!!

We saw a nice keeper sheepshead and a small trout washed up on the shoreline during our paddle. Didn't see any visible signs of another fish attacking them, but it's not like there was fish everywhere either. Not sure what it could have been.
