Exploring Longboat key with my Girlfriend Phenominal fishing!
I was doing my route in Siesta key for Coastal Angler Magazine on Saturday and on our way back to her house in Anna maria Island I found a launch for the kayaks. So we relaxed in the morning and went by her parents house and picked up a malibu two and paddles. I didn't bring any of my gear with me because I was going to come back and go offshore the next but those plans fell through. Anyways we launched at around 12 and I was standing up in the malibu 2 paddling around checking out the area seeing nice reds and snook. She had on Pandora music so we were out enjoying a beautiful day. All I had for tackle was a basic spinning rod that i rigged with a gold spoon and a 20 l leader. I came up on an area that had a nice school of redfish spread out on the flat and started sight casting them.. I was pointing them out to her and sight casting them I was handing off the rod to her she was having a fun time! Caught 2 over slot red on the spoon and had 2 shake the spoon in the grass. A big bluefish and had a 30 inch snook shake the spoon out while she was fighting it. We got a couple pictures with her blackberry! Found another cool area feeling more and more confident for running trips down south!
