Beach Comber
Well our vacation has come and gone. we had plans to fish in the kayak every day and surf fish every night and as usual, the gulf showed us that our plans did not matter.
We attempted to kayak every day but seeing how it was my brothers second time in the gulf, it was really to sloppy to fish. we got 2 30 minute windows to fish mid week and he caught his first king in the yak, a solid 20 pounder. I caught a decent sized spanish. the rest of the time it was steady swell to a washing machine at the color change. It was just too iffy with our limited expirence.
I wish i could say the surf fishing made up for it but the grass was terrible. We got one night to fish where th grass cleared out. It was a very good night though. I caught one bull red and one slot red. We both landed many bluefish and hardheads. I have never seen so many sand fleas. we did not even have a rake and you could still catch all you wanted.
We did see one turtle about .25 miles out and saw the 3 nurse sharks laying out in front of beachside villas. Talking to a couple who owns a condo at beachside VIllas, the nurse sharks have become "pets". They told me they are there every day.
