Kayak Fishing Belleair Causeway Grass Flats. Hooked into a perfect Trout, just under 19". Slot for Speckled Trout in this area is 15"-19". Finally a great dinner fish to bring home.

Quick outing to Belleair Causeway. Had some trout success with an attempt at political humor at the end. Thanks for watching.

Hit the Belleair Causeway grass flats with Ned Shrimp. Great day with a mixed bag. Multiple Trout (One over-slot, one slot, tons of shorts) with a bonus Redfish.

St. Petersburg Area Fishing Locations. Coffee Pot Bayou is one of the many local areas with a nice kayak launch. Expect activity to increase in winter months!

Fishing a new area, just outside Weedon Island Preserve. Using artificial baits to locate some new areas.

Fishing for Pompano from Sand Key Park in Clearwater. It looks like they are starting to move in...Hopefully red tide does not have an impact. Got my 1st one of the season using Doc's Goofy Jig with teaser.

Once again tried to validate the ability to catch sheepshead on worms. Began fishing with shrimp to locate the sheepshead....No luck, but did hook up with a couple 11" snapper.

Trying to re-create the success of another YouTube fishing Channel with a strange choice of bait for sheepshead. Southern Salt claims that worms are an alternative to fiddler crabs when they are unavailable....J.C. from Rad Reeling Fishing says it's "Myth Busted". I had some good bites at Coffee Pot Bayou, and want to try to confirm either my gullibility or the fact that worms can work in a pinch....

Kayak Fishing for Sheepshead in Coffee Pot Bayou, St. Petersburg Florida. No luck on the residential docks. Success when I embraced my inner troll and took up residence under a bridge.

I have very fond memories of growing up in Western N.Y. State. Most of my time was spent outdoors. If not involved in organized athletics, my time was spent with friend wandering the "woods" or fishing Lake Erie. The most memorable time was spent with my grandfather, affectionately known as "Rusty Hook". Even if the fishing wasn't great, I was entertained and enlightened! I would listen to his life's lessons through stories and anecdotes. "Rusty Hook's" opinions were ALWAYS right, and he forgot more about fishing than I could ever learn. I'd like to try to fill his shoes and take you along for the experience. The Venue has changed, as I now spend most of my free time fishing salt water from a Kayak, but I'm just as obstinate in my opinions and hope to enlighten and entertain. You're welcome to come along for the paddle if you would like a friendly exchange of opinions and hopefully also catch some fish!
