LJ 1-10-09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PB fisher · 01-11-2009, 04:29 PM

Sunrise was great with the full moon setting...forgot my camera- no pics to share.
No waves to deal with on the higher tide, but the water was all the way up to the street.
I caught one 14" yellow and was wondering why one this small would still be around this time of year.

did it look like this?

14 inches or 14 pounds? Either way, that's small.

I remember seeing one guy catch the smallest YT I've ever seen.
It was at LJ and I think it was less than 5lbs....

..Now who was that guy?...clue: The size of his YT is
inversely proportionate to the size of his boat...

It was a whitefish.

The dorsal fin was solid, not in 2 sections like the picture. Maybe it was a whitefish, but the fork was yellow and so was the dorsal fin. I am not an expert, but have caught yellows on the cattle boats. This one looked like a smaller version. Hope this description helps.

That's the one. You guys are on it.
I will try to be careful with the fish ID's.
What's the best website for identification? This Mexfish site on the link above?
