WAVEWALK KAYAKS

-”I forgot the chest mount today and what a time to leave it home the fish were quite cooperative.  I caught 11 legal sea trout and a load of smaller ones.  Managed a half dozen little redfish in the same area.  I moved when the bite slowed down and got into a pile of ladyfish who were happy to eat everything that passed in front of them.  It was a wonderful morning on the water.  What made it even more fun was that I used a very old fishing rod I’ve had since the late 1970s.”

-”The rod itself it a four piece “Ugly Stick” fly/spin packrod.  I bought it to carry behind the seat of my truck when I worked in Northern Indiana.  That rod has been some miles with me.  It was rebuilt around 1995 by a friend in Casselberry Florida.  All new Fuji guides and a Fuji spinning reel seat turned it into a wonderful light action rod.  It has fished from coast to coast plus in Mexico and Canada.  Today it was rigged with one of my little Daiwa reels filled with 8lb mono line.  All the fish today were caught on a little 1/8oz jig head with a 3 inch Gulp shrimp in “Nuclear Chicken” or “Sugar Spice Glow” colors.  It was nice to get back to a simple outfit with simple rigging.”
