Quick report 9/24 MDR reefs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Snags · 09-25-2018, 10:27 AM

Went out for a couple hrs yesterday morning. Lots of bait in the harbor and out on the reefs.
Lots of surface bust ups. Trolled around a little and hooked a few big macs. Thought the Bonito would be around but didn't see any. Heard the Spitfire saying the bite was good on big Bonito over their loudspeaker as they passed me. They headed south. Dolphins and seals were tearin it up offshore. A lot of life out there.
Bass fishing was pretty slow. Picked away at it for a couple calicos and a couple sandies. No real big ones. Couldn't really get the lighter lures down on the marks before I was pushed off so I switched to a butterfly jig. All bass caught on that.
Maybe next time. Still a fun morning.

Good to see the bass are still holding tight to the structure.

How deep is that spot, about 70'??

Reef patches are between 60 and 70'.

Always digging the MDR reports. The bonita have been around in big numbers lately.

Got myself about 4 at 5/6lbs last weekend further north.
