06-27-2009 Tiki Delta

Got to Tiki payment stand and was gonna pay for parking since it wasn't the 28Th, the Delta gathering, but the Lady that works there ( Didn't' get her name but believe it was Linda since she said she'd talked to Eric, the person gathering the 28Th event) told me there was no need to pay for parking for using the launch.  I'd ask if it was free for just today and tomorrow or is it anytime if I'd wanted to come back later in the future.  She said, as long as your launching a kayaking then there is no need to pay, only if your launching a boat (vehicle with trailer) or camping.  So to all Kayaks that wanna fish at Tiki, parking is free along with launching.   

Met up with AlsHobieOutback and iroelikethat at the campsite.  Chat for bit then rolled out towards Mildred Island.  Saw AlsHobieOutback catch a bass on the first point.  I caught a 8 incher on topwater then another fish inside Mildred on incoming Higih tide with a wacky worm. 

Around Noon lots of boaters came out and speed by without slowing down so take your warnings.  I was wearing my chest high waders with sealed booties along with my white hat and longsleave shirt.  I managed to stay cool damping my hat into the water to cool down along with pouring water onto my waders which felt good.  Stayed out till 3pm.  To everyone tomorrow stay safe and cool.

No pix for the camera got wet. 

Thanks for the pre-fish update.  Mildred is a good choice.  See you in the morning.
