I got a tip from one of the guys on the Orlando Kayak Fishing Club so I decided to give it a try this morning. It was S L O W !! I picked up one short trout trolling with my replacement x-rap on the way across the lagoon but the grass was so bad it was almost impossible. In retrospect I should have stopped there and made a few casts as I was seeing a lot of fish on the finder (over 4' in depth). Something told me to keep going however, probably the dreams of all the 30" trout stached up awaiting me.

I don't know why but there are a pile of dead fish floating on the surface. Mostly mullet but also saw pin fish, a couple reds and trout and some puffer fish? I mean a lot of them.....probably a few hundred.
I fished The recommended depth of 3' plus and minus with both xrap and 17mr without a strike....not even a ladyfish?
I trolled back to the west side and picked up a keeper trout just as I was reaching the depth I wanted to start plugging again. Dropped anchor and caught one more short trout and had a few other fish on.

A bunch of pesky dolphins came by and one just would not leave. fished all the way back north of the launch with almost no action. About a 5 mile paddle all together. I did not get up on the flats. I think it was one of the poorest days I can remember but I guess you have to have one of them once in a while to appreciate the good days.
I did talk to another guy there that I had seen there 2 weekends before and he had not caught a trout, only ladyfish.
The water seemed to have cleared up quite a bit from last weekend.
Anyhow, this trip did not pan out but I'll whoop up on em' next time!
Good Luck,
Larry Stephens
