Great idea. Love to see some fly fishing reports with wsb, yt, or halibut catches.
For me would like to see set ups and techniques for fooling these fish into thinking a fly is a live fish. Next, wanna know how long one has to fight a big 20# + fish to get it on a kayak. |

That depends if they are using the correct WT rod and reel for said 20lb fish. If they are using a 14 WT, it really wouldn’t be too bad. If they are using a 4 WT, different story. There are light and heavy fly setups for saltwater just are there is light and heavy conventional, and spinning gear. I’ve watched some of my friends hook 45lb rooster fish on a fly rod and make it look easy. There are charter companies locally that will take you out to target 400 mako sharks and places all over the world to target 400lb billfish. |

Mako-ville has a number of guys who come down in October to fly fish from their kayaks. You guys are always welcome to come on down and sample our fishery. Spotties, corvina, triggers, yellowtail, skipjack, cabrilla, sierra, and ROOSTERFISH are all possible. Bonefish, dorado, jacks and many others have been landed by yaks and from the beach here.
Mako-ville is being administrated by Dave Sivak. He can be contacted at our FACEBOOK page, Mako-Ville. Tight Lines amigos.

Just FYI
I started taking up the fly a couple years ago haven't tried from the yak yet but it has been quite a learning experience! If anyone is interested in trying to learn fly-casting, I found out Long Beach Casting Club was giving free lessons! That's how I got started it was really good and I would encourage anyone who even thinks they might be interested to try it. NO judging just encouragement and assistance. Or you could go to a fly shop and pay for lessons... It takes me a little while to get started when I first get out there but as I start slowing down and remembering what I learned in the one class I took I settle in and do much better I am usually a learn it on my own kind of guy (yep a slow learner) but fly-casting was not intuitive for me at all. YMMV just my experience. I signed up for the class at Fred Hall a few years ago I would guess they still do it. Highly recommended! Darren |
