5/19 M.I. Airport w/Bill

We had good weather and took the new yak out to play.  I went south with Bill in tow and the fishing started slow.  Eventually we found a school of Ladyfish with some Trout and Catfish mixed in.  No topwater bite all day, popping cork and jig were all that worked.

Manatee Cove w/Ryen & Christopher

Launched out of Manatee Cove and motored north with Ryen & Christopher in tow.  My new yak performed flawlessly, unfortunately my guiding skills were lacking.  We found a flat that was exploding with mullet, but caught no fish.  After drifting into deeper water I found some small trout and called the guys out to join me and   Christopher caught a catfish.  The wind had picked up and open water was rough, so I towed us back to the cove.  Ryen caught a catfish inside the cove to get the skunk off.

Fishing wasn't great, but it was another great day on the water.

5/10 New yak Kiwanis Island

I bought a new(used) Native Ultimate 14.5 Volt.  It has the most comfortable seat and a trolling motor.  I took it out this evening with Bill and we both caught fish.  There is a reason they call this Ultimate, because it is!!!

Late post 4/18 & 5/1

Bird watching & photography have taken priority over the last month. I did get out 2 times w/Bill. A few nice Reds caught.
