a little taste of Texas... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Not to mention one hundred degrees in the shade

. Been there done that, but an October day after a cold front in the heat of the Flounder run, with specks and reds mixed in...Heaven on earth.

Casey, let's put spectra on a ten weight and I'll put you on the biggest Speckled Trout you've ever seen. If you land it I'll give you half price

Whoa nelly, that would be one heck of a fish on the 10 wt, i'm not even sure THAT rod would have the backbone to horse one of those monsters out of there. Might have to step up to a 12 or maybe a 14wt, haha. Luckily, that trip had ZERO skeeters, it was indeed hot and humid, and the wind was just gettin with it, (maybe that helped the skeeters), but the fish were still hungry so all was good. I still gotta stop by the restaurant, maybe next time when i have more free time.
