Last Kayak Fishing Trip of 2011

For my last kayak fishing trip of 2011,I made the decision to go to a location that I hadn’t visited in quite some time. This New Year’s Eve trip would serve two purposes: finishing off a great year, and hopefully giving me some content for my next magazine article. I made the some calls and rounded up the usual suspects. Chris and Tom would be there, and I would pick Greg up along the way. As we drove over the Skyway Bridge enroute to Fort DeSoto, we could tell it was going to be a good morning. Flat calm conditions greeted us at the launch. We were soon on the water, casting Heddon “Super Spook, Jr.” topwaters into schools of mullet, looking for redfish.

These looked like they would fit the bill just perfect. After too many heart stopping encounters with stingrays here in Tampa Bay, I called up Mark, aka “Yaksushi” to see if he had any contacts at SIMMS.

There are many ways in which Trout can be caught, but my preferred method for catching them is out of a kayak. Why?
