Pamlico Grand Slam on the Kayak
Got out about 7am with very little wind and not many people. I saw one other kayak angler and he was a few hunderd yards away. I paddled to the march near the main river and worked a top water plug and MR17 the entire way with no luck. I was thinking since the sun is coming higher I may need to try a little deeper. I tied on a Gulp shrimp with a 1/4 oz head and it didn't take long to connect with a small red.
I kept on throwing the shrimp and next came a small flounder. Followed by a small trout.
Its a good thing I like catch and release since everything was undersized.
This continued and when the like got tight I knew this was going to be a nice red. To my surprise it is a small striper and man did he put up a fight.
I had to wrap up the morning to meet the family at a pig picking that was only 10 miles away so I worked the shore line on the way back and got into a nice flounder hole where I was able to catch some supper. Nice 15 1/4 inch flounder.
Once I got back to the ramp I did a survey with the NC DMR and he said he had been to Oriental and Aurora the two weekends before with little to show. I was happy as long as I was catching. The total on the morning:
4 flounder
3 speckled trout
2 stipers
1 puppy red drum
4-5 crockers (man they love Gulp)
All but one stripers were caught on Gulp. I would still say that the bigger fish prefer a Mirrolure over the Gulp.
