Biscayne Bay Speckled Trout

Post by Poseidon10/31 »

I tried kayak fishing for the first time this afternoon. Went out in Biscayne Bay to fish the grass flats around I-195. I was throwing pinfish and shrimp on a popping cork rig. The action was fast and furious. Landed around 15-20 trout with a few around 20" and the rest 12-15". All the big fish were taken on 3-4" pinfish. Jacks, needlefish and cudas were in the mix too. A shark followed in one of my trouts and spooked right next to the yak. That was cool. It made me think twice about hopping in the water to cool off... Anyways a lil video montage. Tight lines.

Did you fish when you went out of Morningside? Looks like a good area for trout. I was sin the flats between 195 and the Venetian Causeway... Ever try by the Margaret Pace park? No boat launch but a lot of promising looking potholes and such?

Hey Cannible I sent you a PM. I'd be down to go fish as long as you aren't trying to fulfill your screen name... Lol

Sweet lil grouper man. Free parking? I have to check that out next week and save the $1.50/hr I would spend at metered parking...
