DANA POINT 2/24/12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

neil travisano · 03-02-2012, 06:09 AM

MY BUDDY AND I LAUNCHED AT 730AM AND HEADED OUT. IT WAS AT LEAST AN HOUR PADDLE TO OUR SPOT. WE SEPERATED ABOUT A 100 YARDS OR SO AND DROPPED DOWN OUR LIVE SARDINES AND STARTED SLOWLY MOVING ALONG THE FRONT OF THE KELP BEDS. ON MY FIRST DROP I PICKED UP A GOOD HIT AND SLOWLY MOVED AWAY FROM THE KELP INTO DEEPER WATER. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I GAFFED HIM,BUT HE WENT NUTS WHEN THE GAME CLIP WAS PUT ON ALMOST FLIPPING ME OVER. I QUIETED HIM DOWN WITH MY GAFF. WE WERE USING LIVE SARDINES FROM THE RECIEVER WITH A STINGER SET UP.

nice halibut...i think i saw you guys paddling out as i was on the Clemente doing their friday halibut drift. Did you guys launch from the boat launch??I lost a 10 pounder (woulda been 1 of 2 legals on the day and the jackpot) to a seal that came right out from under the boat and busted my line.
