As we launched me and two other kayakers went north into the wind. One stayed within the marina heading towards Rossos and a Hobby angler and my self went out into franks track. By the time I got out to franks a short paddle that Hobby was out of site. I fished the tulle clumps and small channels within the tulle. My first fish came on a spinnerbait, undersized 11" knowing I was in a good casting position thanks to stakeout pole and anchor trolley. I would fan cast the spinnerbait towards good ambush positions then I switched rods to drop shot. My first cast the line jumped within seconds of hitting the water, I reeled up the slack and set "fish on" no real fight from her she came to the boat fast and I lipped her fast 20".
I continued this all morning moving the boat into new positions, but I stopped getting any hits on the spinnerbait do I went straight to drop shot I caught a 12" and 12.75" fish as I was hoping he would go the 13" but only with mouth open so back he went. Two cast later I felt a tic and a nice pull. Dropped the rod tip down and set the hook. This fish went airborne instantly, my next keeper I was thinking. The fish made three more jumps then under the boat I was able to keep it out of the tulles, as it came up got it in the net. 18" fish was my second keeper.
I put the rods in holders and back to cover I paddled. It was a little dicey I had white capes and rollers on my way back to the marina. I was so glad to get behind the break wall, I picked up one more dink off a dock but I was undersized also made my way to the dock loaded up the boat sent in my pictures and I went home. I submit my three fish for 51" found out the next day I had won.
So looks like I'm in the TOC.
