Since my first trip which had been remarked with flips and losing gears, I got very discouraged in kayak fishing and thought of giving up. But through this forum, I get to know a lot of great, kind and generous people I would like to call friends, some I've never met, whom made me felt blessed to see there are still so many people out there who still cared for a stranger. To these people, there isn't a word in my mind I can find to show how grateful I am to your helps, support, experiences, and quality spared gears. And I would like to dedicate all my future kayak trips to you guys, whom got me back in the water. If you don't mind, I will post your name & picture of your gifts on my trips as I got them set up.
Another failed trip :)
Launched early in the morning out of kids beach in newport. Equipped light with just a few swimbaits, jigs, and one set up given to me by JeffB, a custom wrap Phenix X12, this is my all time favorite rod, not because it's looks and performs wonderful. It was wrapped by Jeff himself. What a wonderful gift.
My initial plan was to target bay bass around the bay and was hitting the docks with a jig. Got a few tap here and there but nothing stick. At one point I got pushed by the wave & wind too close to the dock so I used the paddle to push my kayak out. Crack. Only fished for 30 minutes and after a few paddles I'm left with half a blade on one side of my paddle. So much for free paddle that came with the yak. Anyway, :paddleersmilie: in with what's left of the paddle, packed up and hit the nearby jetty.
Caught this fish with the gift from Jeff from the sand with a LC 110sp. Didn't have a ruler, didn't matter since I'm releasing it anyway, may be a barely legal, who knows :D.
A dedication to you Jeff, thank you bro. Such a sweet rod.
