I'm glad I decided to stick it out!

Woke up Saturday morning at 5:30 a.m. and decided to make my 45 minute ride to the north side of the No Motor Zone in the Banana River. I knew the day wasn't going to be ideal, but I thought I would have a couple of hours of decent weather before it got bad. Well got to the launch and already had thunderstorm clouds overhead and winds were blowing 10-15mph already. Debated in the truck to abort, or to just try it. I decided to launch the Native Slayer 14.5 and fish a little cove that I know would protect me from the wind, and would offer up some snook. Got to the area I wanted to fish, and right away I started seeing Tarpon rolling. That was a plus!! Sure enough, I hooked up with 3 of them only to lose them as soon as they jumped. Oh well!! I started seeing alot of bait being busted up behind me and was looking to see what it could be. Tails!!!! They were popping up everywhere. This little cove has never produced reds for me. I only target this place for snook and tarpon. I turned the Slayer around, and third cast I was hooked up. Decent size mid slot red to the boat on a Slayer Inc. SST in ghost color. For the next 2 hours I only moved the kayak about 20 yards and went on to catch a few more nice reds and a little snook. I used Slayer Inc. SST in "ghost" and "chicken off the chain".  It was a great morning and I'm glad I didn't bail!! Next two weekends will be very busy for me. Next weekend I will be up in Jacksonville fishing the IFA, and then the following weekend I will be back up in Jacksonville fishing the Jacksonville Classic.
