Location: Mullet Key and Mullet Key Bayou
Tide: Outgoing
Kelly and I tried for an afternoon session today, and you could tell our lack of confidence by how many beers we packed.
Fishing is tough in the summer, and toughest in the afternoon. If the storms don’t chase you off the water, the piss warm water will send the fish into deeper water or a lockjaw coma.
We hit the water around 5:30pm at the same launch as Saturday and paddled out to the same water where we lit up the fish on Saturday and generally threw the same lures we threw on Saturday, except today was Tuesday, not Saturday, and so the fish were on their weekday schedule.
In short, we caught nothing. I had a follow from a ladyfish on my Yozuri, and if the ladyfish aren’t biting, nothing is. (Except pinfish. They are always hungry.)
The wind was brutal and the weeds were bad and so after a half hour, we packed up the kayaks (without breaking them down first) and drove down the road a bit to try Mullet Key Bayou East.
The mangroves gave us a good windbreak at MKBE but the only fish to be found were pinfish and mullet. I might have been satisfied to tail-hook a mullet, but nothing was doing. Kelly and I got double skunked.
At least we had the beer.
