I slowly trolled the Little Tunny 120ft down on a downrigger in around 200ft of water between wrecks in the area. After about an hour of trolling the clicker started screaming as the line was pulling out. I had a solid strike. I kept the kayak motoring with tension on the strike as I cranked up the downrigger ball and reeled in the surface-trolled bait.
I had high hopes for a Wahoo, but they faded away at deep color. It was still a nice King Mackerel and not a shark. After the king, I trolled for about another hour for zilch before calling it a day and heading for the barn.
