Fishing planet fish from kayak mission12/16/2023 ![]() ![]() It was official, my wife had discovered the addiction, "the tug is the drug."Īfter releasing her first red, it wasn't long before she was calling me again, "Honey, I have another one!" It was such a cool moment! Every angler probably remembers their first redfish. I paddled over and netted her first redfish with my Leverage Landing net. It didn't take long after explaining how to fish for and fight a red, that my wife was yelling, "Honey, I have a fish!" We were fishing my 13 Fishing Omen rods, with Shimano Sahara 2500-3000 reels with 1/4oz jigheads and 3"Gulp shrimp in New Penny that I scooped up from Chasin Tails Outdoors ( the best). ![]() So, the next night we packed up another water picnic and headed out into the Bogue Sound, armed with some intel I'd culled from Top Spot maps, and a good boat ramp conversation from a few days prior. The first paddle proved a bad fishing mission, with one croaker caught, but we did have dinner with an amazing sunset.īut that one redfish hunt was enough to hook my wife. My wife asked if I could score her a temp fishing license. The first paddling trip we drove over to Beaufort to check out the Rachel Carson Reserve. But this trip I decided to load an additional tandem kayak, the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 135T, so that the whole family could go paddling together. On these trips I've caught speckled trout and flounder, but never a NC redfish. Usually I just load one kayak, and hit the area solo for fishing missions. We make regular trips down to this region every summer. The Crystal Coast and the Atlantic Beach, North Carolina area provide a beautiful environment to recreate in. The Southern Outer Banks is a quieter version of it's rowdy northern neighbor.
