Iron Yellowtail - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dorado50 · 12-16-2009, 06:53 PM

When bait is popping on the surface this time of year it means to me that it is being stalked! Got on top of the commotion and dropped the iron to the bottom, a few cranks up I'm on kelp....can't be its moving. This fish went where I didn't want it to,bouys and the kelp. Aniexty level very high as this fish keep digging and digging. However the Hobie did its job and up he comes all tired out.

You gotta love the Mirage Drive when the nightmare's unfolding. I've managed to land many fish that I would have surely lost, back in the day. And I might follow your lead and wear a Yellowtail mask next year, too. I love the parties, but the damn costumes are so expensive

It is good to see a new post. You have given me a little hope for the nearing vacation time. I have no idea what Im doing out there with iron but I havent seen LJ blue in about 7 or 8 weeks and I am LONG overdue.
Again congratulations.
