Been sick with a really nasty upper respiratory infection for a week so I haven't been able to go fishing...until today- last day on antibiotics so I slipped out for a few hours- brought home three keepers for the table including this really fat 22 inch speckled trout...

That speck was a fatty! good work!

My two favorite fish to catch. Congrats. First time I've seen anyone catch a red on a redfish magic. I have one and all I get is stripers.

I hope you feel 100% soon.

It's great when those fattys overhang the sides of the bump boards!

Trying to get the fish and the measure all in the picture sitting in my lap, sitting side saddle in the yak was a trick, too...this is the best of four pictures I took of it...and the lure is a home made version of a redfish magic lure - I have caught a lot of fish on it-I usually troll two rods...one with a "redfish magic" gold spinner with a 1/4 oz jighead with a 4 inch sea assassin body and the other with a double 1/4 oz jighead setup- the top, a sea assassin body the lower, a 4 inch gulp-

Way to go Ron. Those are good looking fish. I hope to catch some of each next weekend when fishing in the Tampa area.

Ron,
If you don't mind me asking, where did you launch from?

[ronaultmtd]

Piney Point- fished early this morning and caught 9...kept two for the table

Great work Ron! I have never caught a red on a redfish magic... for me it is a striper/catfish magic!

Beautiful ! Glad you are past the antibiotics.... and feeling better.
Any sort of respiratory infection is a bummer...

Cheers to getting out in the water, I am sure you missed the taste of salt water across the bow of your boat.

Your words of wisdom have been the most helpful when I first entered the this group as a newbie

[kitkatyaker]

Thanks Ron. I too look forward to your reports. They are always educational and detailed. A good resource for newbies and experienced yak-ers alike.
Glad you are feeling better too.

[Hemingway]

Glad your back fishing and feeling better, nice job on those fat boys.

Ron, you are have a very good year.

[ronaultmtd]

Yeah, you're right... I am having a very good year...it took me a couple of years and some good friends (mostly Bill and Kevin) showing me to figure out kayak fishing southern Maryland waters...still learning something every trip, but I have had a great year on Speckled Trout and big slot reds...I have not entered a "paper" fish, but I have caught some...only lost a couple of the "you should have seen the one that got away" fish..almost all big fish hooked were landed...I cheated a time or two and caught fish and didn't post or make any reports- the board was busy with other reports and it was another good day, report...boring...so you have seen about 80% reported of my trips....and my favorite type of striper fishing (top water) is getting hot right about the first of the month, so I am really looking forward to switching to fishing for stripers soon...but the specks are running and I plan on targeting them until they leave. And I have two nice specks in my insulated fish bag to clean for supper tonight from Sunday...
