Gary’s Seven Hour Kayak Fishing and Wildlife Observation Trip Report, Florida

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Here’s a new report from Gary Rankel:

Was out for 7 hrs yesterday in hot weather and sun.

Ran into lots of redfish yesterday, but most were pretty spooky.

I did manage to get this beautiful 10 pounder on top water just as the sun was coming up.”

I just missed my “West Coast Slam” as a nice snook shook my topwater lure while airborne about 20 feet from the W (sorry I couldn’t snap a picture of that).
I also ran into a visitor who was really interested in your new W 500 (I think he thought he had just found the perfect mate). He entertained me for a good 20 minutes, repeatedly coming right to the side and of the W to get a good look.
