West Bay Reds

Made a trip down to west bay Sunday morning and managed to pick up two twenty five inch reds. The wind was blowing and the bite was slow but the two bites I had resulted in two solid reds that were perfect for lunch. The first red fell victim to a corky and the second came on a saltwater assassin. I talked to some other fishermen while I was out there and most came up empty and some had a few trout. The fishing could have been better but it was still a good day to be on the water with some fellow yakers.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of flying out to Collinsville IL to help Amy and Cyril from ST Louis sail and paddle promote the Hobie kayaks at the Lets Go Fishing Show. We had a lot of fun spreading the word of how much fun you can have in a Hobie kayak and all of the accessories that are available, like the new collapsible leaning post for the Pro Angler. I can’t wait to get my hands on one, it will be nice to have something to lean against while fighting some big reds. Saturday and Sunday Jackie Smith (football hall of famer and designer of the Hobie Pro Angler) came out to give us a hand talking to people about all of the things you can do in a kayak. At the end of the day on Saturday I walked around the end of the isle that our booth was on and saw some shoes on a rack that caught my eye. I went over to check them out and was greeted by a really nice gentleman named Mike. While talking to Mike about the shoes I tried a pair on and walked around for a few minutes with them and found they were very comfortable. Well when it was all said and done I left with a bright yellow pair of ZEKO shoes and they are my new favorite shoes. I sported my new shoes from the time we left for the show Sunday morning until I arrived back home in Houston Sunday night. No more sweaty feet and my feet felt great even after being on them all day, I know these shoes will be awesome in the kayak. Photo left to right Josh MacNaughton,Jackie Smith, Amy Narishkin
