Thursday evening I managed a few short WSB and a big calico in 20 - 25
feet of water, in south LJ, on bass plastics.
Friday launched the canyon at 4:45 pm and caught some smelt. Slow
trolled out to 90' of water and got bit on the 7" blue/grn/grey colored
swimbait. Well since I'm pedaling, I got to feel the hard *thwak* bite
because I was HOLDING the rod ... startled, I managed to create an
untimely spectra tipwrap for 3 seconds as the fish made a quick
run/headshake. Somehow snapped fluoro 25# with a clean break/cut so
either the leader had a nick or it was a toothy critter. :farmer:
Later in the evening my flylined smelt went nuts, so I looked back to see
10 seconds of crashing boiling yellowtail (saw the head of one pop out)
:yt: which decided not to eat the smelt after all. Great show
though.
Looks :yt: yellowtaily-ish out there.
Both trips I fished the 9'9" Hobie Sport kayak coupled with turbo mirage drive.
