Having not been in a kayak in about 26 yrs, it was a wake up call but none the less, it was awesome. I got a guide / kayak from Gulf Coast Kayak on the island and man was it cheap and worth it. The topwater bite on snook was sick. These were big boys, 40 inch plus and it was all on lures which made it all the more fun. We also had some nice reds, sea trout and tons of cool scenery meandering in and out of the mangroves. All the fishing was in like 3 feet of water and it was just reading water, cover mudlines ect. If you ever have the chance to fish this area, it is sick, just plain sick.
