Not much in the Kitchen
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2014 6:03 pm
First time out into the Kitchen area of Tampa Bay's South Shore, just north of the Big Bend power station. Launched from the Kitchen Branch culvert on 41, at a dead low negative tide. Didn't have to cross any actual mud, but there were two areas where the kayak would not float with me in it, so I had to slog a bit.
In spite of good water movement, there was not much happening anywhere on the flat or the deeper water. Only saw a few mullet, and those were close to the end of the incoming tide far inshore, near the creek mouth. Didn't generate anything other than a few ladyfish, until the trip back. Picked up a few micro-snook, lost one about 24" at the boat, one rat red - all in the mangroves in the creek, next to the big house.
Guess I need some Kitchen lessons...
