Hey I thought I would post up my first Lynnhaven trip....
I got out on the water pretty late since I spent most of the morning hanging out at longpoint bait shop buying a new rod and reel and some misc tackle. This was really my first successful salt water fishing trip. So about 3pm we hit the water, Myself, my wife and my 4 year old daughter. We headed out crab creek and as we came out I went down the "A" channel I think... the tide was low so the sand bar was on my left and the grass was on my right. I through out a bottom rig with some pink gulp EZ squid... the croaker were nuts for that stuff! I started catching small croaker, and the fever caught on with my wife and little girl. They both had poles rigged for bottom with the same pink squid. My wife caught several nice keeper size croaker, and she also caught some small Spot and one Triple Tail. I was catching some decent size croaker as we floated down towards the channel markers 5 and 6. My little girl was catching some croaker as well. I also caught a small triple tail.
Now it seems like many people dont like to mess with croaker, maybe cause of its ease to catch?? I dunno... but we had a blast on the water, I talked to some really nice folks in kayaks... this was the best time I have had in a kayak since we bought them last month. The best thing about it is my wife and daugther are wanting to go fishing now! Its a dream come true for me!!!
Side note, As I was leaving I saw a gathering of the POL... I was talking to a few of em.. but I kinda got the "your not in the click vibe" .... maybe it was just me... oh well... guess im not cool enough!! LOL.
I will be heading back to Lynnahaven this morning... with my family... I will post up the results.
Take care.
Jake
