with the fly rod and baitcaster in hand (the only two rods I can throw fish with one arm) and still unable to drive the boat, I ventured out the North Cape Trail having just discovered it the other day.  wading across in a south-west-north-east-south rectabgle in an incoming tide, i ovserved little activtiy on the ouster bars.  on the north bound leg about 200 yards iff the shore, muklet began jumping near the shoreline.  as i got to the south bound leg i was able to cast behind a nearby leaping mullet for an instant hook up.  My first ever fish on a baitcaster pulled hard to the point I thought perhaps a snook.  but finally showing was a beautiful lower slot redfish with two big tail spots either side and a whiter color due to temps.  i will certsinly be adding this to the youth canp!
