Let me tell you a fish story. Yesterday I went out fishing about 5 PM in my kayak off Goose Island State Park, Texas . I was using a bright orange rattle bobber with about 36 inches of line behind it, and live shrimp for bait. I had been fishing for about 45 min and had already caught several small Black Drum fish, which I had to throw back because the legal limit is 20 inches. I cast once again and as soon as the line hit the water, the big strike came. It snapped my line, so I thought to myself there goes another rig set up. As I was getting a new line setup ready, up popped my bobber. Ok, I told myself that fish is still at the other end of that bobber. Off I went paddling hard to get to the bobber, but as soon as I would get close down it went into the deep. I just waited there until it popped up again. Once again I paddled hard to catch up. Now it was headed out to deeper water in the bay. I chased that bobber for about 15 min. By now it was getting dark and was hard to see it any more. I was ready to give up, when up it popped again about 10 feet from my kayak. With a final drive of the kayak, I got hold of the bobber and pulled in a 20 inch Black Drum fish. Now that one was big enough to keep. We will have it for supper tonight. I love fishing out of my kayak.
