black drum

We went to Melbourne Beach on Thursday for a few hours, with pretty good results with small whitings, one really big one and a nice Jack and a shark in the mix.

Friday we headed over to Dragon Point and Mather’s Bridge area. Hooked up on a few trout early with Bass Assassin paddle tails and snapper on shrimp by the docks. Moved north of the bridge another small trout and on the next cast I hook up on something big, making the drag work and pulling line. The fights on!

Thinking I got a nice trout for sure, but no, one big sail cat ate the paddle tail!

Sunday we went to Kars Park in the late morning, the water was like glass wish we had made it earlier. The water was pretty dirty. Tossed a few different colored paddle tails with a few sort hits. Changed tactics with a sliver Z-man split tail, worked real slow on the bottom and that resulted in a few better hook ups on the trout.

Stopped for lunch, left a shrimp over the side of the kayak and got a nice black drum. LOL

Getting ready for what this week will bring.
