My last trip was while we were on vacation at Destin. It was too rough to fish the gulf but the inter coastal was calmer. It had been raining hard for a few days. It's very shallow in the bay - rarely deeper than 7 or 8 feet. I like to work the marshy areas for sea trout and redfish. Occaisonally you hook into a big bay catfish as well. It's a fun way to fish out of a kayak, and the coast is beautiful.
You would be suprised how far out in the gulf you can get a kayak and catch fish like cobia, mackrel, pompano, drum, and the occaisonal small shark. There are a lot of forums out there that show kayakers catching some BIG fish out of the ocean.
I have thought about setting up a club or a web site for a long time for kayak fishermen in and around Louisville - would anyone be interested in that?
