Newport 8/3
 

Launched at 445am from kids beach with my roommate, got a scoop of smaller sardines from the barge and headed toward pelican point. Got there and fished the dines both flylined and with a 4oz slider around the deeper kelp.

We fished until about 1230pm and had caught a few short bass and barracuda which was fun as everything seemed to be on the surface. My roommate caught a decent sized greenback on his jig and decided to send it down with the 4oz slider - about 10 minutes later his drag is screaming and he is getting dragged out to sea. I chased him and was able to get the assist on this monster! Such a fun and rewarding day, we have been steadily going out in the kayaks for almost 2 years and this is by far and away the most substantial fish we have taken. These steaks will be enjoyed, that is for sure. Tight lines!:cheers1:

Nice :cheers1:

Great report......

Awesome report! Love the pic with the mac still in its mouth.

Nice! ! Awesome catch. I think i saw you guys near the bouy. Did you see Tony Rigatony out there? ?

I didn't see Tony Rigatony (sounds like a legend) - we didnt really see any kayak fisherman down south towards CDM normally we do. There were a few circling the bait barge on our way in.

I think we might of seen each other at the launch in the morning though! Glad to see you had a fun day

Your room mate looks likes hes licking his lips already in that first picture.
Nice catch.

Hope to catch a thresher myself soon to see what it tastes like

That's a really nice fish. Way to go.
