Here is a new kayak fishing report from Jeff:
-”Definite change to springtime water temps here. As I launched the W at Shady Oyster yesterday morning the water was much warmer than it has been for months. That normally means a change is due in the types of fish that will be hitting the lure. Sure enough I caught a load of ladyfish which are always on the prowl as the water gets warmer and a few bluefish that are around when it’s cold.
No food fish however since as soon as the lure hit the water it was grabbed by one of the two fish already mentioned. Darn, I was really in hopes of adding to the flounder already in the freezer. It was a fun day and as always when catching ladyfish I went through at least four changes of leader on one outfit and a couple on it’s twin.
So far as gear, spinning tackle with 10lb Fireline leadered with 15 or 20lb FC and a baitcaster with 16lb mono and no leader. Lure wise it was 1/4oz jig heads with Gulp shrimp, a topwater plug (Super Spook Jr.) and a suspending plug (MirroMinnow) When I got back both the the W and my fishing pants were covered with fish blood and slime. That’s how you can tell it was a really good day of catching. –Jeff”
