Gigged my FIRST FLATTIE!!!

Very low-tech approach. Used the kayak as my base platform.

Battery in the seat. Cheap walmart light. $5 gig from Bass Pro on a mop handle.

Hints from the little cutie at Mo' Fishin in Orange Beach (if she's not taken you better hurry guys - this girl can fish and gig!)

The kayak worked great for wading. If you want to move quick just hop on and paddle. When you hit a good patch, hop off and get giggy with it.

I only got the one but I'm gonna do it again. I now know why you giggers are so fanatical. It's like hunting and fishing all at once!

Sorry no pics this time.

Oh and my guests got 5 trout and one slot red off the dock. Fish Fry tonite!

Great job! Good to hear you stuck one. You are right, its like once you find one, its addicting. hope your fish fry goes off well too!

Happy 4th!
