Dropped the girls off at school this morning and headed out for a quick fish at Bunce's Pass. The tide was super low as I launched, with only one other guy out fishing from a red kayak. He was set up on the channel that runs from the pass, by Tampa Bay Watch, and on to the residential canals. The guy was chucking shrimp on a popping cork, and from what I could tell, catching fish after fish.
I paddled up about 50 yards past him on the channel and started throwing my topwater along the edge where the grass drops off into the sandy channel. Over about 45 minutes, I caught four upper-slot trout on my Badonkadonk topwater, and had countless other blow-ups.
I continued to work my way out to the pass, anchoring from time to time to work a particular spot. The topwater bite died down, so I switched over to throwing a 1/8 oz chartreuse jighead with a variety of tails. I caught six more under-slot trout in this fashion, and also caught a juvenile mangrove snapper.
Kelly showed up toward the end of my session and we compared notes, then I got off the water. Forgot my camera today, so no pictures, but it was another good session on the water.
