One of my favorite spots to fish in the past was a place many kayakers knew as Magnolia. Too many this was the marsh to fill your box with redfish before the sun was high and a very close paddle. I have been out to Magnolia so many times to get a limit of redfish within an hour of being on the water it is unbelievable.
Magnolia is a rich marsh area that was always known for holding plenty fat redfish. There are many trips that when you would paddle into a pond you could just look at tailing redfish everywhere. Maybe it was the clean water, grass, low boat pressure, not sure but Magnolia was a redfish magnet.
The header picture is from a sunrise one morning as I was just sitting enjoying a cup of coffee and living the life. This was a place where ospreys caught their fish, alligators basked, otters played, and nutria a and raccoons shared the banks. This was a great place to sit back and enjoy life for what it is. A place to clear your head after a long week of work and bend a rod.
Over the years I have met new friends and also taught new kayakers the addiction of the sport here. Since the last hurricane the marsh in the area was torn up badly and hard to get into now but hopefully in the future I will be back in the place we love.
Until then here are some pictures of bent rods in ole Mag!
