This trip did not actually include my kayak but I could have easily been used to island hop, beach the yak and wade from there. As it were, I poled dad's flat bottom and he waded with a lantern to cover more ground and keep me in deeper water to keep me from scrapping up the bottom of his new boat.

This was a gig trip and not a hook and line adventure.
We fished about 5 small to medium islands and bars. The flounder were in tight to the bank in shallow water and most were found around small oyster bars usually around a point with some flowing water washing bait to him.

The water is not real clear right now but visibility was decent.

We both ended up with a limit of 10 although we had a few little one that we probably should have let go.
I'm headed to the lagoon this afternoon and I'll post what kind of action I get into from that.

Here's a few pictures.
