Went out last week to a creek behind IOP that I knew held fish during the winter. Wasn’t a large school, but 10-12 fish, bunched up at low tide in pools only accessible by kayak. I wasn’t able to land the fish I could see over the winter months. I was too aggressive with my approach and would often times spook the school before I got the chance to even cast at them. Ended up landing 3 reds, 2 slot and 1 just above slot. Caught on Zman paddlerz and jerk baits. Caught a dink trout on way back to landing.
Went out today…skunk city. A crystal clear creek last week looked like chocolate milk. Must be from all the rain. I didn’t even think about it until I saw how nasty it was. I tried trolling, docks, multiple plastics, even a dead finger mullet on bottom. Nothing…
But it is great to be back on the water.
