The Banana is Back - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Finally back on the water after a 3 month break. If the title confuses you, I call my kayak "The Banana" since its a 12 ft yellow OK scrambler xt. Plus I put this Banana with a sombrero logo on the side.

Well, anyways I got some time off of my job to do some fishing. Got on the water out of NPH around 7:00 am. Then I got off the water around 10:30 am. When I first got out to my rockfish spot, I was the only one out there. Then an hour later the parade showed up, I counted 9 other kayakers out there today. Didn't really matter since they weren't fishing in one of my honey holes which I call "Barberpole City" because when I found it, it was wide open Barberpole RF. Anyways, I fished that spot today, limited out pretty easily.
Here's the cooler shot.

Caught almost all of them on my little Bass Pro shops baitcaster, that made it a little more fun. Also, saw someone that I knew out there, his name is Vy. I put him on my spot when I was leaving since he was having trouble. He's helped me in the past, so I decided to return the favor.

The Fish Count for Today was:
1 Starry RF (cut up for bait)
4 Barberpole RF (1 released)
7 Red Snapper

Overall, it was a good trip. Nothing huge, but plenty of meat. Good to be back on the kayak again.
