Hit the landing and was thrilled to see bait jumping all over. Filled the bait bucket with about 5 casts, nice MM and FM. Paddled down (I was in my yak) to a spot that was good to me a couple of weeks ago only to find a boat already there. I moved a few docks down, dropped a FM in and reached for something when the line started screaming off. I lost it when it wrapped a piling. Then for 30 minutes, nothing. I put two rods out (yep, I said I learned my lesson) I got a double hook-up and lost them both. I worked dock after dock with no more bites so at 2:00 I decided to head home skunked. As I paddled up to my old spot, I saw it was empty so I decided to give it 15 minutes, no more. I ended up catching two 24"ers and a nice 31" that dislodged my anchor and dragged me halfway down the creek. I hooked up this one on a real light combo so catching it was a real adventure. After that, no more bites. The sight of the day was a very attractive blond in a bikini on a boat fishing across the creek. Man, that’s not a sight you expect to see on Nov. 22. All in all, a good day and a beautiful day to be on the water.
My favorite saying is “it only takes 1 fish for a daymaker”. A 31" red is a beauty. Ties my personal best. Great job- I bet that sleigh ride was fun.
No pics of the bikini???

Man I wanted to but I knew I couldn’t out run the guy’s boat if he caught me (I can only paddle so fast). She was pretty! As for the sleigh ride, I had not planned on it happening but somehow my anchor came loose. It was a hoot though.
Great job, Doug. But I’m warning you. If you fish off my dock again while my girlfriend is sunbathing I’ll have you arrested!

agree. without pix, this did not happen.
i enjoyed your post DF
Dang, cut a brother a break. It would have been just my luck the guy sees me snapping off a picture of his GF. I am in a yak, he is in a motor boat. I guess I could have paddled under a dock until he went away. I guess part of me was just pleasantly surprised at seeing such a sight in late November. The other part was just enjoying the view. I’ll try to do better next time.
A 300mm lens would do well. Probably wouldn’t bring a DSLR on a yak though

All I had was my waterproof Olympus. Great little camera but not much on zoom.
Flash your badge and board the vessel! Tell her your a special agent with K.A.Y.A.K. (Koastal Anglers and Youth Activities Kouncil). Advise her you need to inspect the boat for contraband and ticks.

Okay, I get it. I will never mention girls or bikinis again unless I have pictures. Sorry.
