Topwater fishing in the mangroves can be explosive... but this was NOT what I expected! A shark appears out of nowhere, with my catch in his sights!
This morning's kayak fishing trip was awesome! The windy conditions didn't stop me from fishing docks with the Mirrolure Lil John.
The day started off strong with a beautiful 29" redfish caught beside a dock, surrounded by schools of bait. What a great sign!
Next, I landed a couple small trout, followed by a nice snook. Things were looking good!
But then, I caught a decent mangrove snapper and a big sail cat (sorry, no pics of those two!).
The highlight of the trip came when I cast my lure right up on a piling and hooked the larger of the two snook shown here. He nailed it immediately!
As I was wrapping up, I realized I hadn't taken a pic of a trout yet, so I made a quick stop at a windblown mangrove point and caught a few. Here's the largest.
All in all, a very productive morning on the Indian River! #kayakfishing #indianriver #redfish #snook #trout #mangrovesnapper

Fishing Reminder
Got a minute? Check out this quick video!
When fishing, it's easy to get stuck in one spot, waiting for the fish to come to us.
But sometimes, we need to take matters into our own hands and GO FIND THEM!
Don't wait and hope the fish will show up - keep it moving and search for active fish.
Remember, fishing is a game of movement and adaptation.
Next time you're on the water, remember: if you're not catching, it's time to move!
