My girlfriend and I decided to spend New Year’s day on the water together and launched the kayaks inside Tampa Bay. We fished the high incoming tide and found the big trout and redfish in the same areas around mullet schools. All of today’s fish came on XL MirrOdine’s twitched slowly under the surface. The trout were even bigger today with the biggest fish taping out just over 26″. My girlfriend got one at 24″ with about a dozen fish well over the 20″ mark. Most of the reds were small with a few lower slot fish and one 24″er.
