It's not about the catches. It's about the quality time in the fresh air. Even better if you're teaching kids about it.

Here’s my contribution to this thread. Didn’t catch anything either.
Always pictured you to be taller.

A humorous story, at least the next day.
I was out on the kayak last week flounder fishing. The wind was supposed to be light so of course it was blowing...
I found a sheltered creek mouth with activity and hid behind a bush for a wind break. Was catching quite a few flounder. Ended up I was soaking a gulp on my spinning set up and working a jig with my caster. My caster was set up loose, but I was casting with the wind so all the fluff was emptying out with the distance. Well I see activity behind me, so I throw backhand into the wind..... biggest blowup I have had in years....couldn’t clear it in the field so I put it up.
Fast forward, I am home sipping a bourbon on the couch and clearing the backlash. After clearing the knot, I strip of close to a hundred yards to rewind it tighter. Meanwhile I hear the boss hosing down the lab from the beach. I hear the door open and yell Nooooo. To late, here comes a hyper wet lab looking for me. Right through my pile of line spinning circles ... you get the picture... hog tied in 1 second flat looking up at me from the floor. I just took a sip and picked up the scissors and cut up all my hard work.
I was steaming at the time. Tired and dehydrated You know. The next day it was pretty funny as we compared that story to my sister in-laws of having a raccoon run in her House. She won.

Cool, we usually go North around sponge pt. Sometimes hit grassy island. You ever bottom fish any of the Steinhatchee reefs, I think they are about 20 miles out?

Not a lot, when I had My 23 Sea Hunt I would bottom fish anywhere from 20 - 35 miles , now with the bay boat iIl run out 10-15 miles sometimes and fish for Rock Bass.
Snapper is Hot right now I know some people catching them as shallow as 50 ft. which is probably 25 miles out.

No one has ever fished it near Jax. It’s at least 75 miles away.
