Daughter's first kayak fishing trip and slam!

After years of bugging my kids to go fishing, my daughter finally gave in. She nearly backed out when I woke her up a little after 8am, but she wanted to go still. After picking up some mud minnows and snacks, we headed off to Paradise Landing. Got the kayaks ready, and off we went.

The first spot did not yield anything, but we did steal a big fresh dead mullet from a crab for some cut bait. On to the next spot. We anchored up and tied off to each other and got the lines in. The mud minnow on the float started moving a little, so I brought it in and got the skunk off the trip (but kicked myself for not having Isobel reel it in).

It didn’t take too long for the fun to start…

Zzzzzzzing…fish on.

Well over the slot, lots of spots!

Wait a little…

Then came a little trout to complete the slam.

The one more biggun’ between 7 and 8 lbs.

Picked up one more trout trolling back to the landing. Hit Jack’s Cosmic Dogs for lunch to wrap up the day! Saw Too Busy’s miata

Great post, looks like the daughter’s a natural!

Nice work. My Isabelle isn’t big enough yet. Hope I can show her the same kind of trip first time out.

Karma is 360 degrees

Nice!! Great to see the kids Hooked Up!!

the smile on your daughter’s face says it all! I guess it was worth it to her to be kicked out of bed at the ungodly hour of 8am!!! Congrats on a nice day!!!

Good girl! Way to get after them!
