On Saturday September 19th twelve kayakers arrived at Turtle Bay and were greeted by calm winds and flocks of birds working in the middle of the bay. We unpacked as fast as possible with hopes of trout limits. Only Gafftop catfish and hard heads were caught in the many flocks of birds. I landed Gafftops on soft plastics and top waters. The tide was too high to paddle through the culverts so we opted to paddle two miles west to the other Sartwell Lake marsh. I landed a 29 inch red fish on the west shoreline. Upon entering the marsh I paddled upon a very large group of feeding Redfish. I called all that were close by on the vhf radio to join in on the fun. Three of us paddled up to the school and casted. Everyone hooked up but only two redfish were landed, my Redfish swam under Michael’s kayak. We followed the Redfish down the shoreline but could not get another bite. Several large Black Drum were seen in the marsh. Mike M, Mike E and I all caught keeper reds. Ken had a keeper trout, and several flounder were caught. Overall it was a great day of fishing.
