Sunday morning I woke up to my wife saying “Tommy, it’s 6 o’clock. When are you going fishing?” I love that woman. 
So I checked the wind forecast, picked a spot that should be mostly shletered, saw that it’s usually productive at high tide and headed for the water. I got to the launch just after the sun came up. The cky was nice and bright and the water next to the row of docks I wanted to fish looked like a sheet of glass. A quick survey of the surroundings showed a couple of oyster bars just barely showing their tops… perfect height for this spot.
I slid the Tarpon 160 into the water, grabbed 3 rigged rods out of the lock box and started paddling to the first dock. The water was so calm that I wanted to be as quiet as possible, so I stopped paddling a good 30 yards short of where I wanted to stake out and let the kayak drift in silently.
Bait of the day was the Z-Man ultrashrimp, natural color, with just a dab of shrimp scented Pro Cure. I tossed one under a popping cork up against the grass and tossed another out to dead drift about 50 feet away, but still tight to the grass edge. Just as I set the second rod down, the cork disappears; nice little lower slot redfish.
I let him go, tossed the popping cork back into the same spot, one pop, and bloop it disappears again. I think I caught the first fish’s twin. So a quick pic and he goes back in the water.
Toss up to the dock again, oh look honey, TRIPLETS. Not bad, 3 fish on 3 casts, but all small.
I guess this school are all the same size, so I decided to move on. I picked up the dead drift and feel a little weight. Hmm maybe hung in the grass or on the oysters, so I give tug and it takes off.
