tax man county line - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 07-04-2013, 04:05 PM

today i was trying something new . i have been trying to shave weight so i opted to ditch the hobie tank and use one of these plano floating tanks . i had some nylon web leash laying around so this is what i used to secure the tank to kayak . the leash was bright orange . bad idea . so i was fishing and all of a sudden something runs into my lines and i look down and i see white and grey . the first thing that came to mind was a dolphin . so he circles me and breaks surface and slashes his tail at me . he was real aggressive and he encircled me 3 times . i looked down and we made eye to eye contact . he was 12 - 15 ' . i quickly pulled the tank up and my lines , crapped shorts , and starting paddling .2 hours later he broke surface and nailed a big dog . this was witnessed by other kayakers and pb 's . other than that fishing was slow , and bait was plenty .

I'm glad he only audited you and didn't levy a hefty fine on you.

Be safe.

if a 12fter really wanted your bait tank... i think he'd get it

cool that it picked off a dog though. maybe we should get a bunch of bright kayaks out there to gain their interest and keep them active so they are hungrier and eat more seals!

Glad you are safe, even though he was hungry he left you alone, questions, questions?
