Well, it was a great tournament, got to spend some time with old friends, Nubby, Threespots, and Troutman, as well as seeing some of our friends from Jacksonville. Dreads, it was great getting to see you again! We caught a few fish, and had a lot of fun. Thurs. the wind would push you back one paddle stroke for every two that you made, but we managed to catch a few fish while pre-fishing Oak Harbor. Friday, Nubby and I fished Mill Cove and managed to catch several decent fish. Nubby caught a 16"+ flounder, an 18" red, and his personal best, a stud of a 24.5" red that had the head and shoulders of a 30" fish!!! I picked up a small slam, if you count a pee-wee trout as part of it. Had a decent flounder, and an 18" red along with a bucket full of other smaller fish. We went back to the same spot on Sat. during the tournament and drew a goose egg. I had a good fish pulling drag that came unbuttoned at the boat, but this ain't horseshoes and it didn't count! Nubby and I managed to p/u a bunch of short fish, but nothing to carry back for the tournament. It was great to see my friends from CGKF and get to fish with them again. Nubby and I partnered up and got to spend a lot of good time together, fishing and enjoying good fellowship. Nubby took me to one of the best little seafood restaurants out near the beach that I have ever eaten at. That could have been the highlight of the trip in itself!!! We had a great time at the awards event. Got lucky and won a few things in the raffle. Congratulations to Threespots for taking home the second place award for his 20.2" flounder. CGKF was represented in the winner's circle one more time!!!  Nubby with the Dames Point Bridge in the background at sunrise  Redbeard's pre-launch photo  Nubby ready to go  Nubby going after them! PS: That last fish in Threespots post is a lizzard fish. Some thought it might be a snakehead. Check them out on Google, quite a difference! |

Thanks for the post, pics, and i.d. on that fish I had caught (I was guessing).
It was a good trip and hope to fish with all again soon! CGKF did well again and is representing kayak fishing well!

Nice pics and congratulation to 3spots for the 2nd place award. Well done! It seems that you all had a lot of fun.
I have never seen such fish before but the flounder. It is really interesting to see.
So folks, please go fishing and post more of these strange fish :-)

Congratulations to 3spots  So folks, please go fishing and post more of these strange fish :-) Agreed ! In Denmark we have now water temperatures round 10 degrees centigrade an airtemperatures round 12 centigrade ( that's approx. 50 -53 F ). Your pictures warmed up my heart as well as my mind ! Must be a gift to fish the whole year through under such beautiful conditions. |

Just to add to Redbeard pictures:  Readbeard the morning of the tournament  Nubby the morning of the tournament  Day before tournament 24-1-2" redfish and 18" flounder  Had to fold redfish to put in cooler and trying to straighten out for measurement on the board. |
