Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had a successful trip and good time during the lobster season opener.

While waiting for the 6:30 PM starting time, a local restaurant employee generously and for free gave me a lot of bait to use.

1 - The head of a very large yellowtail and bucket full of discarded meat.

I cut the head in half and zip-tied them to each net. Too big to stuff them in the bait box.
Besides, I had a lot of meat to put in the bait boxes. I also used squid in two smaller bait boxes.

2 ? It was great to pull the net and see all the bugs in it.

3 ? I kept five legal lobsters and released (without counting) perhaps 30 plus short ones.

Hope you had a successful trip, if you went out.
