4/21 SD Bay/ Afternoon Mixed Bag - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Met up with my wingman Sherm at SI around 4:00. He hadn't been on the water in almost 2 weeks so he was ready to get out and feesh

.

Launched into a moderate wind and incoming tide. Paddled out to our "go to" sand bass spot. Feesh were caught by both of us on the 1st drift. Every drift after that we were both catching at least a few feesh each.

I was paddling back to set up for another drift when I noticed Scott's bottom rig go bendo. Watched him reel up a REALLY nice flattie. THEN, I watched him turn away to grab his lip-grippers and I got to see that big flattie actually spit out the lure and give a big tail splash and head for the bottom

. A major bummer indeed.....

Wind died down and so did the tide a bit but the bite stayed good. We finally let the drift take us back towards the launch. Right between and along the moored boats it went wide open again for both spotties and a few sandies. Finally called it a night around 7:30 pm and left them biting.

We both did pretty well for a Monday afternoon of feeshin

. My mixed count was 8 sandies, 6 spotties, 2 sugar bass, and 1 rattler. All C&R'ed, all caught using a variety of Power & Gulp baits smothered in Uni-Butter.

Passed on the good karma to a fellow BD'er at the sand that we kicked down some leadheads & lures to. Hope ya got a few buddy.

Peace,

Spyder
