November 25th,
Today was a good day for kayak fishing but I felt like exploring instead of going to places i know i can catch fish. We launched the boat in Safety harbor, FL and headed north. (first time in this area). The wind was blowing really hard and based on how the water was moving i figured one spot in the distance would be good regardless of the wind. Sure enough there were lots of speckled trout on the edge of the grass flat with some nice bigger trout in potholes just up on the flat. Me and my father blind casted and drifted for a few minutes catching some nice fish.
There were more fish to be caught in that area but i wanted to explore new areas since i had never fished on this side of the bay before. The tide was slowing down and so was the bite so i headed to the courtney campbell causeway to wait for the incoming water. Once the water started flowing we caught some speckled trout and a couple flounder on jigs. When the bite slowed at the bridge there were a series of oyster bars that looked promising so we slowly creeped up and sure enough they were full of fish. The sun warmed up the water, and the incoming tide brought crystal clear waters. Just behind the oyster bars there were tons of speckled trout and some redfish mixed in. For about a half hour we caught a mix of trout and reds mostly speckled trout. The wind began to pickup and the bite slowed down so we ate some sandwiches and headed in.
