That sounds like a monstrous thrill.

I have a NuCanoe Frontier that is a kick to fish out of.

Seems I've always heard they need something fast and loud to make them strike this early, but I certainly believe there is no one way to catch fish... I'll try some soft plastics worked slow next time out.

Ocean fishing is like the Super Bowl of fishing IMO.

It's part of one of the best stretches of beach in the world IMO. And I would know.
white quarts sand is the BEST.
You can drive the road on the beach a few miles and be all alone on that MFer too if you so choose.
I miss it, I really do. I miss the small town feel, and how you can cruise the beach from Alabama to Destin, Fl Right on the water with minimal congestion.
This shit down here is a ****ing zoo. The population makes it crazy. Luckily the bass are about 20 feet from my back door.
if you do head that way look for a spot in Gulf Breeze. Good neighborhoods in there.
The best fishing is in Orange beach on the FloraBama line, though.

Man, you just sold me on that place so bad.
Thanks for sharing the pics of your favorite honey hole... and oh yeah, count me in for your new fishing device

Knock 'em dead, nothing like being out on the water on a beautiful day.
