Best way to spend a Rainy Day

Waking up hearing the light pattering of rain off the roof, I would have never have guessed I’d be spending my whole day fishing out of a kayak.  After sleeping in for the first time on this trip I woke up only to find out Ben was already out on the water in his kayak. After rushing through breakfast, only grabbing a handful of sausages, I quickly gathered some gear and got out onto the water, finding Ben after only 15 minutes. One of the key things forgotten in my sprint out the door was an anchor for my kayak which as it turns out is very important in windy and rainy weather. Thankfully nearby there was a small grass island I could beach on. We didn’t have long to wait before getting a plethora of fish in quick succession. After bringing in two Red fish ,he first, and second Redfish i’ve ever caught, I hear Ben holler out that he had a “giant” on his line. Once pulling it in and finding out it was 25 inches I had to concur that it was indeed a giant. After bringing in the giant we decided to head back to the dock for some lunch, bringing in the haul of two fish (a smaller Redfish that Ben caught before I caught up to him)

Once getting back in for lunch the rain really started coming down for an hour or so, leaving us stuck inside to watch syfy movies most of the afternoon. The skies cleared in the late afternoon allowing us to get out of the house for a bit. Since our luck had be so good in the morning we decided to head out once we got home from dinner. Seeing dark clouds in the distance and the sun dropping quickly we knew we only had around an hour to get in the water and get fishing. We stayed out till after the sun had dropped without catching a single thing, but that didn’t phase either one of us. I’ll include a few pictures below to show you why…

I’m currently writing to you at 12:26am, since I have to be at the tackle shop in a little less than 6 hours this is where I leave you, hopeful that ill be back tomorrow with more fun stories (and hopefully less of a sunburn) so this is me signing off till next time.
