Very low-tech approach.  Used the kayak as my base platform.

Battery in the seat.  Cheap walmart light.  $5 gig from Bass Pro on a mop handle.

Hints from the little cutie at Mo' Fishin in Orange Beach (if she's not taken you better hurry guys - this girl can fish and gig!)

The kayak worked great for wading.  If you want to move quick just hop on and paddle.  When you hit a good patch, hop off and get giggy with it.

I only got the one but I'm gonna do it again.  I now know why you giggers are so fanatical.  It's like hunting and fishing all at once!

Sorry no pics this time.

Oh and my guests got 5 trout and one slot red off the dock. Fish Fry tonite!
