My buddy (Dvldocz) and I decided to take our Adventure Islands out in the Gulf for some trolling while the swells were non existent. We always launch at the second to last access on JB as there are no steps on the walkway making it rather easy to launch from there. Have noticed lately though that most of the action tends to be more down the beach starting around Public access #2. We have found that most action for Kings and Spanish and just past the second sandbar as we have gone out quite a ways and had very few bites. Yesterday all come in the span from Public Access #2 down to almost the Flora Bama and back. We trolled damn near 8 miles and pedaled very little in the AIs which literally slides across the water compared to our Pro Anglers! For those of you that prefer offshore for fishing in yaks, you won't find something as easy as in the Adventure Island. Once you get a hit, furl your sail and winch the fish in. Once they get closer I pull the pontoon in so its easier to get the fish into the yak. Once you've done this a few times it's cake. Lost two smokers yesterday that damn near spooled me yet bagged 4 Kings and 5 Spanish all on Pink and White Duster rigs. Left out about 1300 and came back in right before sunset. Great day in the Gulf and thanks to the winds kicking up, we had to pedal very little the entire day! Thank you Hobie!
