Conditions were tough, the gin clear water making the redfish very spooky, but soon I heard a cry of “Blamo, it’s a Mogan”. Being so foggy, I couldn’t tell who was on the fish. We lost Ken after a while, so the three of us continued on, seeing several large schools of reds pushing water. Still we could not get them to eat. Finally I hooked up with a fatty trout, Woo, who was near by yells out through the fog “Oh son, that’s Noiiiice”. It was noiiice, after being laid up for several weeks, I was just happy to be out on the water.

It wouldn’t be a good report without the nature shot.
On a more serious note, this is the new Tarpon 160i that Wilderness Systems and The Andy Thornal Company have donated for the Paddle Around the Bay, which begins on Feb. 2nd. Once completed, this kayak will be auctioned off with all proceeds going the American Heart Association.
