before I got that one... I caught a lot of fish in my days fishing the overnight to 5 day boats.. but that one was probably the most rewarding of all.

since Josh is big on making observations, here are a few I made:

Josh + black hat = lots of fish , Nic + black hat = 1st from yak ???? I switched from my blue hat I normally wear to a black one and whaaaameee.
the area I was in had some bait being worked at the surface and it felt fishy so I hung around.
there were some obstructions in the area that I made sure to keep an eye on as to not get too close.
Due to a later launch, I only made one med size mac and I didn't want to waste any more time. Some times I waste too much time trying to make a few of those perfect size macs.

anyways, thats all I got. Maybe that will help some one else, maybe not... but more than anything - black hat

[erinoo]

Great catch Nic Im sure your were stoked..:sifone:

[WahooUSMA]

Nice......

[Hypoxic1]

Excellent to see you get results finally!!. :cheers1:

BTW I think you might find an extra rudderpost fixed into the rear hatch of your boat if you need it in the future. I had no idea that hobie had done that til recently when I was doing some maintenance. give it a look.

Enjoy that fish!!
Chris :sifone:

I think I saw you heading out as I was coming in yesterday. I also picked one up about the same size and missed another one. I couldn't find any bait so I was using a bare iron. A couple winds off the bottom in 100 ft of water is where I got my action. Got mine at 7:30 and was on the beach at 10

[yani]

Nick,

That's one fine fish!! Plus, there's more to come.
All your work is starting to pay off. I bet your
heart is still pumping...

[dorado50]

Excellent! I agree,nothing beats a yellowtail off a kayak!. The "one bait" system does work! Nice fish...

[DESTROYER]

nice fish!!! :luxhello: i was skunked again 8/27 my black hat is broke! lucky to still have it, i rolled in the surf for my first time, not as fun as catching fish i would imagine LOL


roadx + black hat = fun to watch rolling in the surf

[kareem korn]

Good job. I didn't think you really fished. ;)

[kareem korn]

I'm headed down right now to hit the surf.

[Nic D]

Good job. I didn't think you really fished. ;)

[danny]

Nice fish

[GregAndrew]

Congrats and WTG.

[kobra]

Way to go Nic. Congrats on a nice fish.

[fishes]

Nic, I remember when you first joined here. Been following your pics and posts ever since and wondered when we'd get to see a pic of your own. Congrats.

[eekamouse463]

one word....WTG!

[Nic D]

thanks ya'll for taking the time to make a comment... it really means a lot to me.

I mostly fish on wed, thurs or fridays, if you're headed out on any of those days... hit me up, lets fish!

[habanero]

All that time on the water is starting to pay off :cheers1:.

[dfroggy54]

Nice fish NIC! way to put a hurt on em. see you out there!

[THE DARKHORSE]

Well, you earned that one. I've got a feeling your paying dues time is over---finally. It's now catching time! I was beginning to wonder what evil things you've done to piss off the fish so much. Especially since you've been so nice to the population of our local targets :p.

The season is far from over my friend, get back out there and do it again!
