Headed out yesterday evening with ****** looking to get my first ever old drum from the kayak and his first one of the season. We met up at location x after securing some fresh mullet and went to it. Neither of us have a fish finder on our kayaks so we were basically just winging it based off of a chart and a good point of reference. In the process we witnessed an awesome sunset (the first one visible in at least a week).
After initially setting up where we now believe was a little shallow we made a good decision and moved. Not long after my first cast in the new location a nice red slammed my mullet. I got him close enough to see but unfortunately he charged the boat and pulled loose. At that point I was a little bummed for losing what might have been our only one of the night. That feeling didn't last long.... I immediately hooked up with another fish and after total chaos (don't try this at night alone from a kayak) I landed my first kayak old drum.
Now it was ******'s turn to get him one. It wasn't 10 minutes after back up on the spot and his rod got slammed. A quick disconnect of his anchor and he was off to do battle with his first of the year.
Thanks ****** for being there to get me my first and congrats on yours. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.
